We closed out 2025 on a high note with a refreshed brand and a more powerful platform. In 2026, we are rolling out new features, smarter tools, and richer content designed to make clinical guidance easier to access, easier to apply, and easier to reference at point of care.
Here’s a look at what’s new, and what’s coming across the Guideline Central platform.
Retain Guidelines with Quizzes, CMEs, and Learning Activities:
Clinical guidelines are only valuable if they’re understood, retained, and applied. That’s why we’ve expanded our content library to include interactive quizzes, CME activities, and learning modules designed to reinforce guideline knowledge and support informed clinical decision making.
Search our guideline quizzes, earn points, and put your knowledge to the test, or browse through various CME activities tailored to your specialty.
Our quizzes provide immediate, guideline-sourced feedback, making it easier to validate answers, strengthen knowledge gaps, and quickly reference the evidence behind each recommendation. Whether you’re brushing up on updates or validating what you already know, quizzes help boost engagement, improve retention, and support adherence to the latest standards of care.
Closing the Communication Gap with Patient Summaries and Education:
Another major addition in 2025 were guideline-based patient summaries.
"40-80% of medical information provided by healthcare practitioners is forgotten immediately. The greater the amount of information presented, the lower the proportion correctly recalled; furthermore, almost half of the information that is remembered is incorrect." - Patients' memory for medical information, Journal of The Royal Society of Medicine
This communication gap highlights a critical opportunity for improvement. Guideline Central’s patient summaries are clear, easy-to-read educational resources delivered as 1:1 translations from clinical guidelines. They are designed to reinforce key messages, improve patient understanding, and support adherence to care plans.
Add patient summaries to your clinical workflow and provide patients with reliable, guideline-aligned educational materials.
Expanded Guidelines Library and the New InSights Hub:
While our foundation remains strong with thousands of United States-published guidelines, we’re expanding to include more European medical societies, organizations throughout the Middle East, and beyond.
Additionally, we launched the Guideline Central InSights Hub, which covers the latest guidelines-related news and insights, conference coverage, clinical trials, and more.
Together, our clinical guidelines library and InSights Hub help you stay informed, current, and confident on the latest published guidelines and insights.

Mobile App Refresh (Coming Soon):
We’re also giving our mobile app a major refresh. Anticipated to launch in Q2 2026, the updated app will deliver a cleaner, faster, and more intuitive user experience, along with seamless access to concise guideline recommendation, online and offline access at point of care, the ability to take notes and share insights with peers, and more.
Designed to support clinicians on the move, the refreshed app will bring critical guidance closer to patient care.

We are continuously evolving Guideline Central, expanding our guideline library, enhancing the user experience, and building tools that support standardization, compliance, and confidence at point of care.
