The Clearinghouse plays an important role in knowledge translation in western developed countries. It consistently provides the latest evidence to target customers according to its strict criteria in the specific fields. Clearinghouse is objectively and scientifically designed to assess the scientific nature and the practical applicability of evidence to provide the best current evidence to different service practitioners. It emphasizes much on the process from "knowledge production" to "knowledge utilization", which effectively fills the gap between scientific research and practice. It will play an increasing important role in the knowledge translation in the future. This article specifically introduces its history of development, characteristics and application and sets the construction of Chinese Clearinghouse for Evidence Translation in Child & Aging Health (CCET) as an example, fully elaborating the application status of Clearinghouse and providing assistance for evidence informed decision making.
