    • Monitoring the distribution of guideline-related literature.
    • Documenting the release of specific guidelines (postoperative pain management, urinary incontinence, pressure ulcers).

    Main Results:

    • Over 110,000 requests for the postoperative pain management guideline were received.
    • Extensive distribution of literature, with 615,000 pieces mailed for multiple guidelines.
    • Ongoing high volume of requests indicates sustained interest and need.

    Conclusions:

    • The release of practice guidelines has generated substantial interest and demand.
    • AHCPR guidelines are being actively sought, suggesting potential for widespread adoption.
