Cancer screening in the U.S. Most women are up to date with pap smear screening Eighty percent of women are up to date with mamography screening One-in-three adults age 50-75 are not up-to-date with colon cancer screening Insured are almost twice as likely to get screened as uninsured CDC. Surveillance of Screening-Detected Cancers (Colon and Rectum, Breast, and Cervix) US, 2004 2006. MMWR 2010;59(No. SS-9):[1-25].
CDC Strategic Focus Areas Excellence in surveillance, epidemiology, laboratory services Strengthen support for state, tribal, local, and territorial public health Use scientific and program expertise to advance policy change that promotes health Better prevent illness, injury, disability, and death
CDC Winnable Battles Healthcare- Associated Infections Nutrition, Physical Activity, Obesity & Food Safety HIV Teen Pregnancy Motor Vehicle Injuries Tobacco
Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) Priority Setting Process, 2010: Build on success of NCCCP and long standing focus areas Emphasis on measurable outcomes, value of efforts, and highest impact Support CDC priorities
CDC-funded NCCC Program Priorities 2010 Emphasize Primary Prevention of Cancer Support Early Detection and Treatment Activities Address Public Health Needs of Cancer Survivors Implement Policy, Systems, and Environmental Changes to Guide Sustainable Cancer Control Promote Health Equity as it Relates to Cancer Control Demonstrate Outcomes through Evaluation
Demonstrating the Capacity of Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs to Implement Policy and Environmental Cancer Control Interventions Implement 3-5 proposed interventions over 5-yr program period Must address primary prevention Link with other chronic disease programs and partners, CCC coalition, and Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW)
Summary of Proposed Grantee Policies Primary prevention 12 of 13 programs proposed tobacco PSE interventions 11 of 13 programs had nutrition/physical activity PSE interventions Secondary prevention Support patient navigation Reduce structural barriers to cancer screening Implement reminder systems Interface with health systems Tertiary prevention Cancer Treatment Summaries/Care Plans for Cancer Survivors

Things come at you fast! Changing Demographics Budget Challenges Health Reform Program Integration
One in Five Think the Health Law Has Been Repealed, Another Quarter Not Sure Q: As far as you know, which comes closest to describing the current status of the health reform law that was passed last year?: 22% 48% It has been repealed and is no longer law 26% Don t know/ Refused 52% It is still the law of the land Source: Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Poll (conducted February 3-6, 2011)
Health Reform will expand insurance coverage Individual mandate everyone must have insurance Employers incentivized to offer insurance Elimination of practices that undermine coverage Medicaid expansion, including all adults Coverage for incomes below 133% Federal Poverty Level Optional coverage for incomes above 133% FPL Insurance exchanges Allow group rate purchasing for individuals, small businesses Subsidies for individuals with incomes up to 400% FPL
Health Reform mandates coverage of preventive services Mandated coverage of preventive services Private insurers, Medicare Coverage without consumer cost-sharing Medicaid incentivized to cover preventive services Increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage 1% ~15 million newly eligible Preventive services includes: Services with A or B USPSTF recommendation Private insurers required to cover mammography for women 40+
Health Reform supports prevention and public health Grows from $500m to $2b annually: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015-19 $500m $750m $1b $1.25b $1.5b $2b In FY 2010 support is provided for PH activities: $250M for primary care workforce $250M for prevention and public health: $126m Community and Clinical Prevention $70m Public Health Infrastructure $31m Research and Tracking $23m Public Health Training
National Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program Since 1991: >3.6 million women screened 42,208 breast cancers detected 2,395 invasive cervical cancers detected
Future Directions in Cancer Screening Public Education, Outreach, Care Management Quality Assurance, Surveillance, Monitoring Organized Clinical Services
Community Transformation Grants Authorized under the Affordable Care Act Evidence-based policy, environmental, programmatic, and infrastructure changes to promote healthy living Reductions in prevalence of chronic disease risk factors, including: Poor nutrition and physical inactivity Tobacco use Excessive alcohol use Clinical Preventive Services Strategies should be prioritized to reduce health disparities
Chronic Disease Prevention Grants Comprehensive approach to chronic disease Increase cooperation and integration across related programs Provide more coordinated technical assistance Includes a Base award to every state Could include more funding than is currently available for the various programs combined
Potential Performance Indicators Intermediate Measures Number, reach and quality of policies to reduce tobacco, alcohol and tanning bed use, promote physical activity and increase protective immunization; Number, reach and quality of systems to expand screening participation in state Medicaid programs and FQHCs; Incentives and regulations to assure electronic reporting of screening data from clinical and diagnostic providers. Increased cancer screening rates
