Minnesota Colorectal Cancer Roundtable

Action Planning MeetingMarch 4, 2015

Minnesota Cancer Alliance recognized CRC as single priority for improvement (900 deaths, perhaps 500 avoidable)

Brought together care systems, health plans, ICSI, MDH, MNCM to collaborate on improving screening rates

Recognized we had the capacity to appropriately screen all Minnesotans

2009 Roundtable

Confusing and disparate messages about appropriate CRC screening and surveillance options and intervals

No real agreement on how to identify and stratify risk and customize screening recommendations

Little agreement on standards for colonoscopy in the state

Needed new ways for care systems to better engage and encourage patients to be screened

Needed statewide publicity campaign to get messages out about appropriate screening and surveillance benefits

Failure was expensive in not only lives and misery, but in costs of treatment

What we heard in 2009

New ICSI Guideline MNCM new measure greater transparency, DD

submission Numerous communication strategies implemented Clarification/simplification of billing for screening Development of colonoscopy quality measures Statewide rate ~66% Some focus on racial, economic and geographic

disparities and risk stratification

2010 Roundtable

As the priority spread, we needed a forum to help connect the projects started by different organizations

Informational by design, network meetings are intended to spark ideas and help people with like interests and challenges share ideas

MCA Colon Cancer Network

CRC remains the single biggest achievable “bang for the buck” in limiting cancer death and cost in Minnesota today

Minnesota Payers, Providers and Public Health Leaders remain committed to the vision

We can do more if we work together

October 10th Roundtable 2014

The MN Physician article in your folder includes a complete list of ideas generated that day

Today we want to frame up a discussion of these strategies within three specific areas: Access to Screening/Follow-up Care Demand of Screening/Patient Engagement Delivery of Screening/Provider Engagement

October 10th Strategies

We have a month

We have a color

We have a ribbon

We are engaging the public

And healthcare providers

But we also have a challenge

Minnesota is taking the Pledge

What could Minnesota stakeholders do to demonstrate this renewed commitment?

What kind of effort would have the most impact on state screening rates?

Could the organizations in the room feasibly accomplish the effort?

Can we create an action plan to move this forward in the next 12 months?

But we need more action

To identify potential projects which could help Minnesota accelerate the increase of state colorectal cancer screening

To identify stakeholders willing to join these project teams to make measureable progress in the next 12 months

Meeting Objectives

Where are we today? How could we get there? Creating Action Plans/Project Teams

Access Delivery Demand
