Clinical Practice Guideline Pilot Initiative

What We Do › Practice Guidelines › Clinical Practice Guideline Pilot Initiative

Partners involved in AIHA’s primary healthcare program and their institutions shared similar concerns and they worked together to facilitate changes in clinical practice by developing and implementing guidelines, standardizing recommendations, and reducing duplication of effort. These efforts were guided by a steering committee and reinforced by a series of skills-building workshops. Common public health threats such as asthma, diabetes, and hypertension were addressed through this initiative.

As a result of the CPG Initiative, the following protocols were developed:
