"In partnership with the Army Medical Department, RAND worked to implement clinical practice guidelines. This report evaluates the asthma guideline demonstration. It documents the actions, assesses effects, and measures the quality and limitations of data for monitoring outcomes. The authors found that the implementation scored successes but resource limitations and organizational barriers curbed progress. They conclude that flexibility, monitoring, and training are the keys to implementing the guidelines. They also found that patient education needed improvement." . . . "In partnership with the Army Medical Department (AMEDD), RAND researchers worked to implement clinical practice guidelines in treatment of three common ailments (asthma, diabetes, and low back pain). This report is an evaluation of the asthma practice guideline demonstration. It documents the extent to which intended actions were implemented, assesses short-term effects on clinical practices, and measures the quality and limitations of available data for monitoring practice improvements and clinical outcomes. The authors found that, although the implementation scored some notable successes, resource limitations and organizational barriers curbed overall progress. They conclude that allowing for flexibility, monitoring the facilities consistently, and training providers thoroughly are the keys to implementing the practice guidelines throughout AMEDD. The also concluded that patient education was an area in need of improvement."@en . "The Army Medical Department (AMEDD) has made a commitment to establishing a structure and process to support its military treatment facilities (MTFs) in implementing evidence-based practice guidelines with the goal of achieving best practices that reduce variation and enhance quality of medical care. The Quality Management Directorate of the Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) contracted with RAND to work as a partner in the development and testing of guideline implementation methods for ultimate application to an Army-wide guideline program. Three practice guideline demonstrations were fielded over a two-year period, in each of which participating Army MTFs implemented a different clinical practice guideline. All the demonstrations worked with practice guidelines that were established collaboratively by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD)."@en . . . . . . . . . .
