Abstract
Abstract: Effective management of patient care delivery within the Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DOD) healthcare systems requires innovative strategies to implement clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). The authors explore the expansion of these strategies by leveraging the Strategic Analytics for Improvement and Learning data, the Electronic Quality Measures dashboard, and Patient Aligned Care Teams across the Veterans Health Administration enterprise. A multidisciplinary, national, virtual Community of Practice (CoP) using subject matter expert presentations that utilize the VA/DOD CPGs and strategic methods for implementation to enhance patient outcomes was developed and implemented. This work aims to detail the development and implementation of a virtual CoP that integrates multidisciplinary expertise and data analytics to enhance CPG adoption and implementation. The implications of CPG CoP discussed reflect the ongoing success and growth of the program's CPG CoP.
