Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) can improve cancer control using a population-based approach. This strategy leverages existing systems for effective cancer screening and early detection, reducing cancer morbidity and mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Clinical settings face barriers to effective cancer control due to acute-care focus.
  • Problem-oriented records and lack of targeted screening hinder ongoing cancer prevention.
  • Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) possess established infrastructure for prevention and screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a population-based approach to cancer prevention.
  • To highlight the role of HMOs in successful cancer control strategies.
  • To outline methods for prioritizing and implementing cancer screening programs.

Main Methods:

  • Describes principles of population-based cancer prevention.
  • Draws on 20+ years of experience from Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound.

  • Discusses methods for selecting cancer prevention issues and evaluating screening programs.

    • Main Results:

    • Examples of screening for breast, prostate, cervix, and colorectal cancers are provided.
    • HMOs demonstrate leadership in integrating health services and continuity of care.
    • Population-based approaches can utilize automated information services for cancer screening.

    Conclusions:

    • HMOs are well-suited to implement population-based cancer prevention.
    • Automated information systems can support cancer screening programs.
    • Early detection through screening reduces cancer morbidity and mortality.
