Improving the Impact of Laboratory Pract: Purpose: This FOA is intended to increase the effectiveness of the model LPGs that have public health impact by defining measures and collecting data to inform better LPG creation/revision, dissemination/promotion, uptake and impact. The intended downstream outcomes are benefits to patient care and public health. The CDC intends these demonstration projects to provide lasting and sustainable institutional knowledge with qualitative methods using free or relatively inexpensive approaches. The awardees will create a permanent organizational culture change from creation and revision of LPGs based upon relatively little data concerning uptake to a standard expectation by staff and volunteers that LPGs should be created based on best available evidence and revised based on measureable data (from metrics) that are shared with the organization's LPG authors. The overall intent is to create a scalable, novel approach to measure and increase the impact of LPGs, but with an expectation that eventually the changes would become "business practices" that would be sustainable and not require continued support by CDC. By collating the lessons learned from as many as three awardees' efforts, CDC seeks to accelerate the adoption of these business practices among other organizations that create and manage LPGs.
