Over the next two years, UVA Cancer Center will work with the FQHCs to improve cancer screening research and implementation. This collaboration aims to understand patient experiences to better serve Virginians.
The Virginia FQHC Cancer Screening Collaborative focuses on those facing health disparities as FQHCs are federally funded nonprofits that provide care in medically underserved areas.
Centers are particularly looking to increase screening for breast, colorectal and cervical cancer screening as rates fell during COVID-19 and have not revived. The collaborative is backed by a $250,000 funding award from the Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award Program, an initiative of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
