Common Factors Between Cancer & Cardiovascular Chronic Diseases Obesity is associated with increased risks of the following types of cancers and possibly others: Esophagus Pancreas Colon and rectum Breast (after menopause) Endometrium (lining of the uterus) Kidney Thyroid Gallbladder
Common Factors Between Cancer & Cardiovascular Chronic Diseases Heart disease associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes; diabetes can raise risk of various cancers Research suggests that these diseases may relate to one another in multiple ways Nutrition and lifestyle strategies sued to prevent and manage these diseases overlap considerably Type 2 diabetes has been associated with colon, postmenopausal breast and pancreatic, liver, endometrial, bladder and non- Hodgkin's lymphoma. Adult survivors of childhood cancer may face an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome Heart disease maybe a cause for death for those who have some of the most common cancers.
Benefits of Offering BCN & WISEWOMAN Services Allows providers to: Provide comprehensive services to women Reduce barriers to screening Ensure health equity and culturally appropriate services Identify health disparities and implement programming specific to South Carolina
Benefits of these programs Provides payment to providers for screening and diagnostic services Use of population-based approaches to improve systems that increase high-quality breast and cervical cancer screening Expanded focus which supports planning and implementing activities to increase breast and cervical cancer screening rates among all women of appropriate screening age. This includes women who have Health insurance, especially the newly insured. Publicly funded insurance, such as Medicare or Medicaid. Access to Indian Health Service or tribal health clinics. Coverage through other programs or services.
What s at Stake Without intervention: Higher mortality rates for breast and cervical cancers in South Carolina Higher mortality rates due to cardiovascular disease Higher Incidence rates for both cancer and cardiovascular diseases Increased late stage diagnosis of cancers With intervention: Ability to treat some preventable cancers All people having the ability to have better health outcomes
PRIMARY GOAL? Joining Forces to OPTIMALLY INCREASE High Quality Screening & Rescreening Rates for Breast & Cervical Cancer & Cardiovascular Risk in South Carolina!!!!!!
HOW? By Translating the CDC s BIG 4 evidence based interventions for SCDHEC BCN & WW Programs INTO SMART PRACTICE Setting Practice Based Population Health Screening & Rescreening Goals Saves lives and Pays the bills Specific Know your baseline rates for screening & rescreening (X # of total # women in practice that need screening/rescreening); Measurable (Use that baseline # to set a quantifiable, trackable goal); Achievable (Ensure you have the capacity to attain your goal); Realistic (Make sure this number is genuine and that you have appropriate tracking mechanisms in place); Time-bound (Start with year s end in mind. Determine how many women you can reasonably screen by July 30, 2017 based on the # of women in your practice who need to be screened & rescreened. Track in real time.
HOW? 1. Client Reminder Systems Annual Screening & Rescreening Reminders for CBE, Pelvic Exam, Mammogram Example: postcards, letters, telephone call, appointment cards, EHR/EMR Automated Alert Calls. Public Service Announcement: BCN reimburses for these 3 procedures!
HOW? 2. Provider Reminder Systems Implementing a practicebased population health system: Know who needs what cancer & cardiovascular risk screening and rescreening Create an internal screening/rescreening registry Review screening needs during morning huddle Utilize EHR/EMR alerts Adopt standing orders or standard operating procedures.
HOW? SCDHEC BCN/WW Provider Assessment & Feedback includes, but is not limited to: Annual Provider Performance Indicator Report On-site Provider Audits Provider Feedback Questionnaire 3. Provider Assessment & Feedback Data: know, monitor, track & use it to inform decision making & set and achieve goals Use available data sources: Practice-level data SCDHEC BCN/WW Med-IT data SC Cancer Registry incidence & mortality data County-level uninsured estimates Incorporate evaluation & continuous quality improvement TIP:.IF You NEED Help figuring out how to utilize data, ask me!
HOW? 4. Reduce Structural Barriers Alternate or multiple locations Extended hours Flex or Block Days Increase cultural competency through training: CLAS & training offered via *https://www.thinkculturalhealth.hhs.gov/ Provide bilingual assistance for non-english speaking patients Understanding health disparities impact: Understanding circumstances that lead to health disparities Cultural, religious, economic, provider perceptions, social determinants of health. *Action Tip: Ask me for more info about this training.it also meets Associated HRSA & PCMH Standards!
Importance of Approach With the onset of more chronic diseases there is a need to redesign existing models of care delivery. Health reform is shifting from fee-for-service payment models to value-driven payment structures based on improving outcomes and enhancing the patient experience and reducing costs. Redesigning how cancer screening services are coordinated and delivered to ensure that benefits are to the health care practices to include effective delivery team. Effectiveness of Care and access/availability of care are part of Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) eight domains of care. Breast Cancer screening is a key HEDIS measure.
Population Health Population-level approaches are necessary to achieve significant improvement in practice Cannot improve care one patient at a time must make improvements for populations Must improve care for patients who seek care but also for whole populations (including those who are not actively seeking care) Essentials for population health management: Care team Health Information Technology (EMR, PM system) Care Processes (Outreach, Standing Orders) Care coordination systems/processes EMRs facilitate the management of data for patient populations
