Registration is open for the July 28th webinar on the Patient Centered Medical Home and CRC screening. We invite you to attend!
The National Colorectal Cancer Round Table (NCCRT) will be hosting a webinar on Colorectal Cancer Screening in the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). The purpose of the webinar is to review how cancer screening and other preventive services can be promoted within the medical home, including an in-depth look at one practice currently using colorectal cancer screening to achieve patient centered medical home quality improvement requirements.
Thursday, July 28, 2016 from 2:00 – 3:00 pm (CST).
You must be pre-registered to join the webinar. The number of attendees is limited. Click here to register.
Overview
NCCRT co-chair Dr. Robert Smith will review this oldie-but-a-goodie article, Promoting cancer screening within the patient centered medical home, that explores how the principles of the medical home can be applied to cancer screening and prevention, including a look at capacities, structures and processes of the medical home that are relevant to early detection and prevention. Dr. Sue Lagarde will describe Fair Haven Community Health Center’s use of CRC screening for patient centered medical home recognition quality improvement efforts. Fair Haven Community Health Center is a federally qualified health center, which has been in existence for 46 years and provides innovative solutions to “thorny” primary care challenges, such as an innovative Diabetes Prevention Program which incorporates urban farming and lifestyle management, an e-consult program which integrates care coordination with e-consults and of course, a quality colon cancer screening program.
