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.
