CHARGE – PART 1 Gather initial background information and advise
the Committee regarding behavior change of providers as relates to:1. Enhancing provider knowledge regarding breast
cancer in young women Assessing gaps, guidelines, and messaging around breast
cancer in young women.
2. Improving skills of providers regarding delivery of care to young women at risk (average risk and high risk) of– and/or facing breast cancer (e.g., Survivors).

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR GROUP
How can we better assess the knowledge base of providers?
How can we assure appropriate resources are developed and used? How can we integrate with quality assessment/improvement efforts?
How can we better assess provider skills in resource utilization and communication?
How can we improve patient access and utilization?
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERSCURRENT STATUSGenetic Counseling Services
Variation in:• Referral for genetic consultation• Appropriateness of referrals• Communication of risk information
Work done by CDC researchers: • DOCstyles 2007 National Survey (Bellcross et al)• Vignette based survey instrument (Trivers et al)
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERSCURRENT STATUSBellcross et al. Am J Prev Med 2011 Determine, among U.S. primary care physicians, the level
of awareness and utilization of BRCA testing and the 2005 us preventive services task force recommendations.
Web based survey “DocStyles 2007” – CDC licensed data Random sample of 3115 physicians. Response rate 48% Asked about actually ordering at least 1 test – did not ask
about referral for genetic counseling / testing, provision of counseling or “implementation of management recommendations”
Potential use of DocStyles for assessment of chemoprevention & screening recommendation use???
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERSCURRENT STATUSTrivers et al. Cancer 2011, Annals of Internal Medicine 2012
Vignettebased survey instrument High risk women – 41% of physicians referred
for counseling, testing and ovarian screening Average risk women – 22% of women still
referred for genetic counseling
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERSCURRENT STATUSChemoprevention NHIS 2000 data
>10million women aged 3579 risk eligible for tamoxifen
>2million White women risk / benefit analysis positive
Actual use: 2000 – 0.2% 2005 – 0.08%
CURRENT STATEPATIENTS
Uptake rates for breast cancer genetic testing.
Olaya et al. Am Journal of Surgery, 2009. Half of patients referred for genetic testing
do not undergo testing. Unrelated to insurance coverage for testing. Affected by weather previously diagnosed
or not and by educational level. Need for counseling instruments to improve
testing rates.
POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPACT HEALTHCARE PROVIDERSI. Training of students, residents & other
healthcare providers (NP, PA) Modules to be used in training – genetics,
communication skills, clinical skills
II. Training of Practicing Clinicians Initial practice Certification Process Maintenance of Certification Ongoing CME
III. Role of EMR
ONGOING WORKHEALTHCARE PROVIDERSCDC

Focus: Education (patient & provider), surveillance and policy
Body Talk Decision support tool – aimed at providers &
patients
ONGOING WORKHEALTHCARE PROVIDERSNIH
eDoctoring Program (Dr. Michael Wilkes) Interactive online educational tool Topics – ethics, genetics, clinical
management, epidemiology, communication skills
Potential users – students (medical & nursing), residents, primary care providers
Potential use by credentialing bodies for certification and licensure (ex., California – palliative care and end of life)
ONGOING WORKHEALTHCARE PROVIDERSAgency for Healthcare Research & Quality Resources (AHRQ)
Effective Healthcare Program – Create educational material for patients & healthcare providers.
The ACTION Network (Accelerating Change and Transformation in Organizations and Networks) Test and disseminate defined strategies.
PROVIDER WORKING GROUP Phase I : Recommendations to Committee
Phase II: How to foster those recommendations
Additions to group: Representatives from CDC (Katrina Trivers) Representatives from 3 state programs Other partners
SUMMARYGuidelines have been developed to guide healthcare
providers on issues related to genetic testing, risk assessment and chemoprevention strategies for young women at risk for breast cancer.
Significant gaps exist and additional research is needed to assess current level of knowledge of primary care providers and to fill in the gaps left by the above referenced studies.
Information thus learned could then be used to develop
focused strategies to target healthcare providers.
SUGGESTIONS TO COMMITTEE1. Conduct assessment of current level of
knowledge and practice of primary care providers around topic of breast cancer in young women
• Work with primary care societies (Medical and Nursing) to develop and disseminate survey instrument.
• Use eDoctoring tool to assess both knowledge and practice and impact of education.
• Assess use of tools available to CDC DocStyles Ongoing genomics initiatives
SUGGESTIONS TO COMMITTEE2. Foster development of educational tools
targeted to education of healthcare providers at various points of training:
• Assess potential use of certification and recertification requirements.
• Assess and expand tools such as eDoctoring to both study the needs of providers and to meet those needs.
SUGGESTIONS TO COMMITTEE3. Continued study of Body Talk as a tool focused
on both patients and healthcare providers:
• Potential use of AHRQ Action Network to study its effectiveness in both target groups.
• Search for effective dissemination strategies – potential use of AHRQ Effective Healthcare Program.
SUGGESTIONS TO COMMITTEE
4. Potential collaboration between CDC and AHRQ on EMR build out and evaluation.
5. Collaborate with other initiatives addressing Healthcare providers and topic of Breast Cancer in Young Women.
PHASE II 1. who are the providers……
Healthcare providers of multiple disciplines Providers at various points in training 3rd party payors who increasingly define coverage….
2. Education & Practice gaps - surveys Work by CDC; Work by 3 state projects
3. Education / Decision Support Tools 3 state pilot – web based CME program; live conference CDC ---Inside Knowledge Campaign (gyn cancer)
---Know: BRCA Wilkes et al – eLearning Bright Pink – resident education
4. Dissemination………..
FOCUS Survey of healthcare providers – current knowledge &
practice -- gaps Whom to Survey (regional / national) How to survey
