Enhancing Cancer Care Quality Through Practice Guidelines and Disparity Reduction

This overview by Dr. Peter B. Bach from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center explores the purpose and impact of practice guidelines in oncology. Key goals include improving care quality and managing costs while addressing disparities in treatment accessibility. It emphasizes the importance of adherence to clinical pathways, particularly in metastatic lung and prostate cancers, to standardize care and monitor outcomes. The discussion also highlights the challenges of disseminating screening guidelines effectively to the appropriate populations, ensuring that they reach those at highest risk, such as smokers over 50.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Policy, Guidelines, and Disparities Peter B. Bach, MD, MAPP Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center bachp@mskcc.org

  2. Overview • The goal of practice guidelines is to: • Improve the quality of care? • Manage care? • Save money? • Monitor the quality of care? • Reduce disparities? • Give academics (with weird skills) something to do?

  3. Improve care quality • Underlying assumption: care is sub-standard • Practice guidelines used broadly would raise average level • Have to assume that deviations from guidelines net harmful • As opposed to important personalization • Clinical decision support can have a guidelines background

  4. Clinical decision support

  5. Manage care (oncology example) • Pathways tell doctors which treatments to use in common conditions • Mostly payer contracts linked to pathways ask for 80% adherence

  6. Save money through competition

  7. Save money: Guidelines for Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

  17. Then there’s the dissemination challenge

  19. Dissemination Challenge • Available to anyone 50 years of age or older with a history of smoking or second hand smoke exposure • $199 for an individual, • $299 for a couple • Available to: “Patients…age 40 and over, typically with a history of smoking of at least 100 cigarettes in a lifetime.” • $399 • http://www.sequoiahospital.org/Medical_Services/Cancer_Care_and_Early_Detection/SDR2_M177128 “The findings were INDISPUTABLE, “low dose” Lung CT saves lives by 20%.”
