CDC COMMUNITY GUIDE: Cancer Prevention & Control, Provider-Oriented Screening Interventions: Provider Assessment & Feedback
CDC
An Evidence-Based Practice
Description
Provider assessment and feedback interventions both evaluate provider performance in delivering or offering screening to clients (assessment) and present providers with information about their performance in providing screening services (feedback). Feedback may describe the performance of a group of providers (e.g., mean performance for a practice) or an individual provider, and may be compared with a goal or standard.
The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends provider assessment and feedback interventions on the basis of sufficient evidence of effectiveness in increasing screening for breast cancer (mammography), cervical cancer (Pap test), and colorectal cancer (FOBT).

Goal / Mission
To promote screening of breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers in community and healthcare settings.
Impact
Provider assessment and feedback can improve the delivery of recommended cancer screenings in relationship to other elements of the specific health care system.
Results / Accomplishments
Results from the Systematic Reviews:
This review included nine studies.
• Screening for breast, cervical or colorectal cancer: median increase of 13.0 percentage points (interquartile interval [IQI]: 11.5 to 30.5 percentage points).
-Completed breast cancer screening by mammography: estimated effects ranged from a 3.4 to 20.6 percentage point increase (4 study arms)
-Completed cervical screening by Pap test: estimated effects ranged from a 4.0 to 29.5 percentage point increase (4 study arms)
-Completed colorectal screening by FOBT: estimated effects ranged from a 12.3 to 23.0 percentage point increase (3 study arms)
• The recommendation to increase screening for breast and cervical cancer as well as colorectal cancer (through FOBT) should be applicable across various settings and provider training status may be related to magnitude of effect.
