Abstract
Put Prevention into Practice (PPIP) is a national program designed to improve the delivery of preventive care to patients by all primary care clinicians. It covers the full range of clinical preventive services, including immunizations, screening tests, chemoprophylaxis, and counseling interventions. The materials that comprise this program involve patients, office/clinic systems and staff, and clinicians, including nurse practitioners. The need for preventive care, the barriers to be overcome, the PPIP program, and a strategy for its implementation are delineated. Principles for successful implementation include: high level administrative support, ownership by all the players in the implementation process, a person designated to manage implementation, and an ongoing evaluation/auditing process that provides feedback to clinicians and others participating in the program.
