Welcome to the Bree Collaborative Implementation Guide (IG)
The purpose of this guide is to give an overview of each of our reports, and tools to support the translation of the reports into practice and evaluation. This implementation guide contains checklists, tools and resources, webinars, and measures to support the implementation of the Bree guidelines across all sectors of the health care eco-system (e.g., clinicians, hospitals, clinics, health plans, purchasers, etc.).
A workgroup of subject matter experts and leaders developed the guidelines. Guidelines take into account existing quality improvement programs and the work done by other organizations. Bree Reports and Guidelines detail strategies that improve patient health outcomes, health care service quality, the affordability of health care, and health equity to promote collaborative actions that strengthen the health of Washingtonians.
A Bree Report is defined as a multipage document on a health care service, identified by Bree members as needing improvement that provides information and guidelines for actions different audiences can take within the health care ecosystem to improve the health of that chosen report topic. A Bree Collaborative Guideline (previously called a recommendation in earlier Bree reports) is defined as an action to improve health care for a specific health care service.
Bree staff began developing the Implementation Guide in 2023, this is a living document that will be updated over time to include further information and resources for all the published Bree reports. Please continue to check back in on the webpage to see new tools as they are developed. Bree staff are prioritizing the development of materials for the most recent Bree reports. To hear about new tools as they are published, please join our listserv.
