Propose a Bree Topic for 2025!

Survey Link – CLOSING JULY 7th 2024 11:59PM

Provide a suggested topic for 2025 by completing the form above! The responses to this survey will be reviewed by our Bree Collaborative members at our July Bree Member meeting on July 24th, 2024 1-3PM. Currently, the Bree Collaborative has developed over 40 reports. For 2025, we are looking to revisit previous Bree Report topics and identify new topics for which we have not convened a workgroup yet.

What makes a good topic:

  • There is a unique contribution a Bree Collaborative workgroup could add for Washington state
  • The topic meets our four criteria:
    • Equity concerns: care and/or outcomes are inequitable between different populations in our state.
    • High variation: care is delivered differently depending on site or circumstances, with potential undertreatment or overtreatment.
    • High cost and/or utilization: The cost or utilization of care is high, which combined with poor outcomes could indicate potential waste in the healthcare system.
    • Poor outcomes: all or some populations affected experience poor outcomes
  • Some evidence is available on proven strategies to address the health topic
  • Current data is publicly available on the health topic.
  • Standardizing practice, protocols, processes, or measurement and tracking could strengthen care for this topic, which the Bree report could address.
  • Requires a multistakeholder collaborative approach to drive change
