Changes and Opportunities
Beacon November, 8th 2024 All of us have had the experience of unexpected change; it is part of the very nature of being human.

Changes in Opiate Prescribing Across Washington State
A View from the Top August 15, 2024 “The amount of opioids prescribed and sold in the United States nearly quadrupled from 1999 to 2014.

Welcome and Introductions
A View From the Top July 30th, 2024 I live part-time a few blocks from the Empire State building.

Evaluation Program
The Bree Collaborative Evaluation Program incorporates multiple methods to gather information on the usefulness, uptake, and impact of the Bree Guidelines. For more information on the components of our evaluation program, see the section below.
Our evaluation data and reports are used to provide information back to Bree Members and partners, to improve our guideline development process, to inform the Washington State Legislature, and to demonstrate the “how to” of implementation work to other organizations that are interested in adopting the guidelines.
EVALUATION TOOLS
Bree Collaborative Evaluation Survey Question Bank
The Bree Collaborative has developed a collaborative question bank, where organizations can draw from and share evaluation questions with the goal of aligning evaluations of implementation projects. Modeled on the CDC’s Survey Question Bank, this resource can support organizations in demonstrating the value of their implementation work.
Evaluation Tool Depot
We have developed a suite of tools to help you plan, design, and execute an evaluation of your projects.
WAYS TO PARTICIPATE
Data Calls and Evaluation Designs
Data Submission Calls
The Bree collaborative puts out data submission calls for evaluations that are currently in progress.
Evaluation Design Calls
We invite individuals and organizations to participate in designing formal evaluations for our current guideline reports. Whether you are an experienced evaluator interested in the topic or a student just learning about implementation and evaluation, we welcome your support and input.
For further information you may also contact our Evaluation and Measurement Manager, Karie Nicholas at knicholas@qualityhealth.org
Bree Collaborative Case Study Development
The Bree Collaborative creates case studies, in partnership with other organizations, in order to illustrate different implementation projects. Case studies may be on broad topics and include multiple guideline reports, or they may be focused on a single report.
Case studies are developed through a standardized method, borrowed from the Guidelines International Network, to support validity and reliability of the information. To find out more, visit our Case Study page by clicking the link below.

Those who meet the criteria for concordance of care can also be eligible for the Foundation for Health Care Qualities Mountain Climber Award for Excellence in Health Equity.
