Everyone on a healthcare team plays an influential role in a patient’s care and care journey.

Everyone on a healthcare team plays an influential role in a patient’s care and care journey.

Everyone on a healthcare team plays an influential role in a patient’s care and care journey. Clinical and administrative professionals each contribute to providing high-quality, timely, and meaningful care to patients.

A primary care practice needs to ensure the following metrics are met within a 12-month period:

80% of qualified patients have completed a colorectal cancer screening

80% of qualified patients have completed a breast cancer screening

95% of qualified patients have completed a cervical cancer screening

A “qualified patient” is a patient who meets the age and health status criteria set forth by the CDC.

Instructions:

Discuss your ideas for capturing this data: promoting screening (to patients and providers) and gathering data on completed screenings.

Patients might say “I had a colonoscopy last year, but I don’t remember the name of the doctor who did it, and I don’t have the records.” –How could you work with the patient to obtain records like this?

Discuss your ideas for measuring and monitoring progress of the metrics/goals throughout the 12-month period. Consider motivation strategies for supporting clinical and administrative staff in this initiative.
