Abstract
For the past decade, health promotion and prevention strategies have been well-defined in published research. While some guidelines have yet to be linked to improved outcomes, others clearly have improved client outcomes such as better quality of life and reduced morbidity and mortality. Even in the face of clear and convincing research evidence, many health care organizations have failed to adopt quality measures to monitor clinician adherence to guidelines or, if monitors are in place, have failed to meet the Healthy People 2000 goals. This paper will examine one of the largest health care organizations in the world, the Veterans Health Administration, and their success at meeting some of the goals set by Healthy People 2000.
