Making Change Karin Hohman R.N., MBA Strategic Health Concepts Overview What is Policy, System, and Environmental change (aka = PSE) What works in cancer control PSE approaches Ways to work together to make PSE changes stick The problem… “It is unreasonable to expect that people will change their behavior easily when so many forces in the social, cultural, and physical environment conspire against such change” Smedley and Syme, 2000 …forces conspiring against change Worksites Communities Schools Restaurants and Shops Media Health Care Can we change policies, systems, and the environment to support healthy choices? Worksites Communities Schools Restaurants and Shops Media Health Care Policies, systems and the environment around us Policies - rules that encourage or discourage certain behavior System changes – changes in how things are done in an organization or setting Environmental changes – changes in places we work, play, shop, go to school Strengths of policy, system and environmental changes Effort is ongoing – not episodic with a start and end Supports a population behavior change – not a 1:1 approach Usually lower in cost with a high impact Change is built to last– it sticks In other words…. Establish a safe community use fishing pond PSE Change PSE simplified PUT UP a BARRIER to make something harder to do OR REMOVE a BARRIER to make something easier to do Ways to PUT UP a barrier Increase the tobacco tax Create a policy that pop or candy is not available for purchase in schools Restrict ages that can utilize tanning beds Create a system where you must record cancer screening test history in an electronic medical record Ways to REMOVE a barrier Employers offer reduced gym memberships Establish a community farmers market for fresh produce Institute a patient navigation program Set up a physician office reminder system How is PSE different? Events Policy, Systems and Environmental Change Display posters during National Nutrition Month Add more / different fruits & vegetables to cafeteria choices Open the school gym during a community fair Develop a shared use agreement with the school Promote “Bike to Work” Day Provide secure bike parking areas and showers Provide a healthy lunch at a work meeting Adopt a healthy food meeting policy Sponsor a screening fair at work Allow time off every year for employees to get screened Adapted from ‘Understanding Policy, Systems, and Environmental Change to Improve Health’. Presentation by Brooke Ahlquist, MA, MPH Where do PSE change approaches work best? The full continuum of cancer…Prevention, Early Detection, Diagnosis and Treatment, Quality of Life, Survivorship to End of Life Pretty much any setting…schools, work, communities, home, businesses, health care clinics, hospitals The most effective approach is a comprehensive approach Community Government Worksites Restaurants and Shops Schools Health Care Media Reduce tobacco use = a comprehensive approach Community Government Worksites Restaurants and Shops Schools Health Care Media Reduce tobacco use initiation and current use Policy Change – Raise the cost of tobacco by 10% and adolescent tobacco use drops by 3.7 % Reduce exposure to second hand smoke Policy Change Restrict by law where people can smoke and voluntary restrictions in places such as cars and homes Decrease obesity rates = a comprehensive approach Community Restaurants and Shops Worksites Health Care Schools Media Promote and increase access to active transportation Environmental Change Encourage and enable biking/walking to a destination Increase access and availability of healthy foods and beverages Environmental Change Make it easier at work, school and events to get healthy foods and beverages And harder to get less healthy options Increase use of food from local farms Environmental Change Support local farmers by promoting fresh, local foods Increase access to physical activity opportunities Environmental Change Develop, clean up and promote trails, fitness centers, community centers, and playgrounds Increase cancer screening rates = a comprehensive approach Appropriate Affordable Acceptable Accessible Available Make screening more convenient System Change – Change hours of service, offer screening in other settings, offer transportation and child care, simplify paperwork Reduce costs for screening Policy change Reduce costs through a variety of approaches: increase awareness of benefits, issue vouchers, increase employee benefits Use reminder systems System Changes Patient Reminders Provider Reminders Provide patient navigation System Change 1 on 1 support to help navigate the patient through their cancer treatment process Increase access to treatment Policy Change Advocate for insurance coverage for clinical trials Assure palliative care services Systems change – Increase the number of physicians and nurses who are board certified in palliative care Support cancer survivors System and policy changes Increase the number cancer centers that work with patients to develop survivorship care plans Keys to PSE success Start with what works and build on that Make one change, even if it is small Get the right people at the table Look for “win-win” opportunities e ms Workforce The Iowa Cancer Plan addresses cancer workforce needs. PSE approaches in the Iowa Cancer trained, and there must be enough of them inPlan every area of the state to ensure a receive access to the quality services and care they need. Policy and Systems The Iowa Cancer Plan promotes advocacy for policy and systems change. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “The policies, syste environments around us, including our communities, worksites, transportation s schools, faith-based organizations, and health-care settings shape the pattern o and our health.”8 It is necessary for change and partnerships to occur at these fo levels to make optimal cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and quality-of-l nities accessible to all Iowans. Examples of PSE approaches in the Iowa Cancer Plan Examples of CCC PSE efforts Illinois- working with FQHC’s and colorectal cancer to assure systematic screening Michigan – policy scan; what services health care systems are providing cancer patients have available to them. Looking for gaps Montana – working with worksites to increase cancer screening – starting with finding the win-win opportunity Partnerships are key to success in PSE efforts Partnerships…finding the ‘Sweet Spot’ The “Sweet Spot”… the Iowa Cancer Consortium No one organization can do this alone Multiple organizations provide credibility and importance to the cancer plan Increases likelihood of success due to widespread support Leverages partner strengths and relationships Brings together a range of expertise and resources If one partner goes away, the effort doesn’t stop Who does what? Partnership Roles Convener Communicator Guide Educator Planner Supporter Ask yourself… What role do you see your organization (or you) playing in the following scenarios? An effort to increase Iowa’s tobacco tax? Establishing a patient reminder system? A policy to assure survivorship care plans? Keys to PSE success Start with what works and build on that Make one change, even if it is small Get the right people at the table Look for “win-win” opportunities Thank you Karin Hohman Strategic Health Concepts 303-906-9336 [email protected]
