Measuring the use of NICE guidance
NICE produces implementation reports which measure the uptake of specific recommendations taken from selected pieces of NICE guidance. These reports, along with other internal and external literature sources relating to the uptake of NICE guidance are stored on and can be accessed from the ERNIE (Evaluation and review of NICE implementation evidence) database.
The information on the ERNIE database is fully searchable and regularly updated. Summary information for each item on the database is provided, including a short description of the sample, methods used, and main results. NICE has implemented a number of mechanisms, systems and procedures to support ERNIE.
