Description of Event:

During this webinar, Andrew Zinkel, MD, MBA, Associate Medical Director of Quality at HealthPartners, an early support of the 80% by 2018 effort, will share HealthPartners experience with colon cancer screening efforts, including work they have done to use data to address disparities issues.  We will also highlight an NCCRT 80% by 2018 resource document, What can insurers do to advance 80% by 2018?

This webinar, “80% by 2018:  Exemplary Health Plan Practices”, is a part of an 80% by 2018 “mini webinar” series that will profile different “best practices” around 80% by 2018 in different categories.  Each is designed to deliver the content in 30 minutes or less, though speakers will be available to answer questions after the formal part of the presentation is over.  These webinars will feature real life colorectal cancer screening success stories, coupled with a review of an 80% by 2018 backgrounder.
