Guideline implementation in LMCs
54. The Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) strives to
develop, implement and study evidence-based,
economically feasible, and culturally appropriate
guidelines for international breast health and
cancer control for low and middle income
countries to improve breast health outcomes.
55. Comprehensive guidelines by selected expert panels

57. Basic level — Core resources or fundamental services
necessary for any breast health care system to function.
Limited level — Second-tier resources or services that
produce major improvements in outcome such as survival.
Enhanced level — Third-tier resources or services that are
optional but important, because they increase the number
and quality of therapeutic options and patient choice.
Maximal level — Highest-level resources or services used in
some high resource countries that have lower priority on
the basis of extreme cost and/or impracticality.

60. “Health care guidelines do not improve
outcome unless they are implemented.”
QUESTION: How can information be
disseminated such that they are
implemented and sustained within a
target country?
61. Dissemination & implementation (D&I) research
Education and training programs
Technology application and development
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY: Create BHGI
Learning Laboratories in different parts of the
world to develop and test educational modules
based on BHGI guidelines and to model program
expansion to other LMCs.
66. HopeXchange: Institute for Professional Training
Training in early detection, diagnosis and treatment
adjusted for low-income country resources
– Curriculum based on BHGI Guidelines
– International faculty to teach and learn
D&I methodology applied in-country
Educational outcomes assessed and reported
71. Target: Middle-Income Countries
BHGI Breast Early Detection Module (BSM):
– Patient education
– Screening (CBE + mammography)
– Diagnosis (imaging / tissue sampling / pathology)
– Triage to linked diagnosis and treatment programs
Model early detection program for other middle-
income regions of Latin America, Eastern Europe
and Asia Pacific.

80. Major advances in breast surgery include breast
conservation surgery, needle sampling for
diagnosis, sentinel node biopsy and oncoplastic
surgery
Improvements in LMCs require adaptation to
existing resources and require coordination of
surgery with other disciplines
Dissemination and implementation through
BHGI Learning Laboratories can steer guideline
application in LMCs
