    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a program for the local development and implementation of evidence based guidelines in the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. DESIGN: Retrospective evaluation study. METHOD: In the period 1992-2001, 50 guideline projects had received funding. Two questionnaires were developed to monitor aspects of development and implementation of guidelines. The first questionnaire was based on the 'Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation' (AGREE) instrument. In total 39 projects of which the original application form as well as the final report was accessible, were scored by 3 researchers. A second questionnaire was developed on the basis of an implementation model by Grol and was filled out by 46 applicants. RESULTS: The primary motive for the development of a guideline were doubts about the effectiveness of a procedure. In 79% researchers (partly) collected their own data. The future users of the guideline were involved in an early stage of the development project in 72% of all cases. In 28% potential obstructing factors were identified. Introduction of the guideline was done through oral presentations in 42% without the use of an extensive implementation strategy. Of all subsidized projects, 24% was ongoing and 74% had been implemented successfully. CONCLUSION: In the AMC-program subsidized projects often led to successfully developed guidelines, which subsequently were introduced in practice.
