Advertise your cancer-related programs for free in the PAC³ Cancer Assets Inventory!

Often, the most difficult thing we encounter when trying to spread the word about our programs is how to do it effectively, efficiently, and easily.  The PAC³ Cancer Assets Inventory Database, online at http://www.pac3.org/assets/inventory/index.cfm, is not only Pennsylvania's one stop resource for cancer-related programs and services, but it is also your one stop for letting everyone across Pennsylvania know about what you are doing in comprehensive cancer control.

Just last month, hundreds of people searched the PAC³ Cancer Assets Inventory Database from across Pennsylvania and learned about the different drug assistance outlets, cancer support groups, tobacco cessation programs, cancer screening programs, and transportation services for cancer patients, among many others types of resources, available in Pennsylvania. 

PAC³'s vast network of cancer care professionals, currently over 1100 members strong and growing, is at your fingertips.  Just post your programs in the PAC³ Cancer Assets Inventory Database and see the results of your efforts for yourself!

It is easy and free to post your programs in our user-friendly database.  Plus, it only takes a few minutes before your resources are visible worldwide.  Just imagine who could be learning about your work, your organization, and your programs!

Contact the Pennsylvania Cancer Control Consortium (PAC³) at pac3@upmc.edu and they will gladly provide you with a User ID and password so that you can get started.  You can also feel free to contact the Project Coordinator, Mark Byrne, at 412-623-0033 for more information.

PA's Improving Performance in Practice (IPIP) collaborative

in
The Gov's Office of Health Care Reform (GOHCR), through the Chronic Care Initiative (CCI), aims to implement the Chronic Care Model in PA and is the umbrella organization for this collaborative, statewide effort that brings together many stakeholders (including health plans). Learning collaboratives are being formed in PA's six regions, starting in SE May 15, SC in October and SW or NE in November. Learning collaboratives are formal groups of about 30 primary care practices (they sign 3-year contracts), which will be supported by quality improvement coaches via IPIP, report on measure sets (diabetes and asthma initially) provided by IPIP using a patient registry provided by IPIP. The learning collaboratives kick off at sessions, organized by the GOHCR, that provide education on the models as well as compensation for time spent out of the practice by participating physicians and staff. The learning collaboratives have follow-up sessions to share lessons learned and continue learning about the models. All of these services are free to practices. The CCI will be initiated in the remaining regions in 2009 while also going back to the SE to develop another learning collaborative and offer other clinical topics (perhaps something in prevention). It's been said that 500 practices is the "tipping point" - that point where change becomes permanent - so we will continue to recruit practices and implement the Chronic Care Model.
