Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) has developed a Cancer Screening Toolkit to help FHTs develop cancer screening quality improvement plans. This toolkit will assist FHTs in planning, implementing, monitoring and reporting on improvements in colorectal, cervical and breast cancer screening. Tools include:
- Cancer Screening Sample Timeline,
- Instructions for developing your QIP based on the Plan, Do, Study, Act principles,
- Planning and Measurement templates
- An Appendix of additional data sources, including the ColonCancerCheck Screening Activity Report (CCC SAR).
While the toolkit provides guidelines on implementing a cancer screening QIP for all three cancer modalities, FHTs can scale back or expand their scope depending on the maturity of their cancer screening practices and other priorities. It is hoped that FHTs who choose to incorporate cancer screening into their 2013/2014 QIP will find the Cancer Screening Toolkit to be useful. Many Thanks to Dr. Suzanne Strasberg, lead physician of the Jane-Finch FHT and regional primary care lead with CCO, who shared this toolkit with AFHTO.
