Apollo guidelines are reviewed and revised at least annually or more frequently as new information becomes available. The length of each guideline varies - up to 85 pages. A relevant current literature reference list, a resource list, related web sites and patient education materials are appended to each guideline.

These are valuable tools for health plans or medical groups who wish to reduce the variation in care for these conditions and in preparation for NCQA, JCAHO or other accreditation surveys. Each purchasing organization must review and revise as appropriate prior to implementation.

 Each volume is provided in a loose-leaf format with an accompanying CD for ease of reproduction, reformatting or making applicable revisions. An index and example pages for any individual guideline from either volume will be sent for review on request - send requests by e-mail to apollomanagedcare@cox.net or mbischel@cox.net for an immediate reply.
