March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
This March, we emphasize the importance of talking to patients about the advantages of testing and the options that best suit them. Several options for testing can be used to identify polyps or colorectal cancer, including ones that can be completed in the comfort of your patients’ homes.
Colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men & women combined. It is estimated that the colon cancer death rate in this country could be cut in half if Americans simply followed recommended screening guidelines.
Our Colorectal Cancer Screening article provides tips and best practices to aid physicians in delivering great care, while attaining exceptional HEDIS and Star Ratings. Explore this and other articles by visiting the HCPartners in Care section of our website.
