The Indian Health Service (IHS) goal
is to raise the health status of the American Indian and Alaska
Native (AI/AN) people to the highest possible level by providing
comprehensive health care and preventive health services. To
support the IHS mission and to provide the product/service to IHS,
Tribal, and Urban (I/T/U) programs, the Office of Clinical and
Preventive Services (OCPS) program divisions (i.e., Behavioral
Health (BH), Health Promotion/Disease Prevention (HP/DP), Nursing,
and Dental) have developed a centralized program database
consisting of Best and Promising Practices and Local Efforts
(BPPPLE), resources, and policies. The purpose of this collection
is to further the development of a database of BPPPLE, resources,
and policies which are available to the public on the IHS.gov
website. This database will be a resource for program evaluation
and for modeling examples of various health care projects occurring
in AI/AN communities.
