The Global Cardiovascular Disease Information Repository was developed by the World Health Organization's Collaborative Center for Cardiovascular Disease Surveillance. The Centre was established in 1995 with the approval of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in Washington, USA and the Division of Non-Communicable Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, Switzerland, and is operated with the support of the Population Surveillance and Risk Assessment Division of the Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control, Public Health Canada, with the cooperation of the PAHO Division of Non-Communicable Diseases and Vital Statistics, the Inter-American Heart Foundation, and the World Heart Federation (formerly known as the International Society and Federation of Cardiology).

The National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC) is a pilot program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Healthcare Research and Quality Administration (AHRQ). Originally founded by AHRQ in conjunction with the American Medical Association and the American Association for Health Planning (now known as the American Health Insurance Plan, AHIP). The mission of the NGC is to provide a guideline access pathway for clinicians, nurses, other health professionals, healthcare providers, health plans, integrated service systems, and more to facilitate their access to objective, detailed clinical practice guideline information and further release, enforcement, and use of this information.
