In 2025 the Bree Collaborative evaluation work will have a three-fold focus:
More information on these areas of work will be available throughout the year.
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.
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.
We have developed a suite of tools to help you plan, design, and execute an evaluation of your projects.
The Bree collaborative puts out data submission calls for evaluations that are currently in progress. See our Current Projects Page for more information.
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. See our Current Projects Page for more information.

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.
The Bree Collaborative has developed a new Implementation Guide that contains Evaluation Tools, including evaluation Score Cards. Organizations can use these score cards for internal assessments to support implementation projects or submit a completed score card to the Bree to be eligible for our Trailblazer award. 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.
All Bree Collaborative guidelines that have a status of “Active” listed in the Implementation Guide are eligible for awards.
The Bree Collaborative is creating dashboards to measure the progress on implementation and impact of our guidelines.
