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

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
