Weiss, M.D.weiss@umdnj.edu • The evaluation committee is part of the Task Force on Cancer Prevention, Early Detection and Treatment in New Jersey • This committee will provide some overall guidance to the County Evaluators and Workgroups 12May2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  9. Evaluation Committee Will Also: • County Evaluators and Workgroups will report to the Office of Cancer Control and Prevention (OCCP) and Peg Knight, who will • Synthesize their reports and • Relay them to Dr. Weiss and to the Task Force for further assessment • Consolidate input from evaluation activities both within NJDHSS and external sources, including the County Evaluators for the CCCP (CE/CCCP) 25April2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  10. The Evaluation Committee’s Web Site Is Located At: www.umdnj.edu/evalcweb/ 12May2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  11. Implementation Is Moving Forward: An Update 25April2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  12. New County Evaluators for the CCCP (CE/CCCP) • As part of the Implementation Process of the CCCP, the new CE/CCCP will be hired by each CEED program to conduct a Capacity and Needs Assessment (C/NA) and an evaluation of all aspects concerning cancer prevention, detection and treatment in their county. • These “County Evaluators” will either be consultants or employees. 12May2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  13. New County Evaluators for the CCCP: Key Responsibilities • Investigates cancer needs and capacity assessments in their County • Describes impediments to best cancer prevention practices in their County • Describes the system for early detection and prompt therapy of cancers in their County • Develops guidelines to implement a comprehensive cancer C/NA and a work plan to implement the capacity and needs guidelines • Works with OCCP and the Cancer Registry to identify communities and populations where cancer burden is highest 25April2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  14. Purpose of Capacity Needs Assessment • To provide the best approach to implementing the CCCP • To help keep the implementation process on target • To provide both baseline and (over time) follow-up information for evaluation purposes 25April2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  15. Collaboration • Information will be gathered by the County Evaluators through collaboration with multiple sources, such as: • Task Force Workgroups • Battelle Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation • American Cancer Society • CDC and NCI’s Cancer Control PLANET and Cancer Information Service • NJ State Cancer Registry 25April2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  16. CCCP Workgroups • Breast • Cervical • Colorectal • Lung • Melanoma • Oral/Oropharangyeal • Prostate • Advocacy • Palliation • Nutrition and Physical Activity • Childhood Cancer • [Will be part of Evaluation Committee: the former Access and Resources Workgroup] 13May2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  17. County Evaluators working with Workgroups • Workgroups will need to start working with County Evaluators to identify cancer resources throughout the state for their specific cancer site. • Information on how to contact each Workgroup will be provided to CEs. • If there a well-delineated, specific and readily accomplished task,Workgroups may potentially give some task to CEs at this juncture so as to move forward on that strategy. • Strategy CO 1.3.1 on pg. 148  25April2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  18. Battelle: Tracking Progress in the Workgroups • Battelle Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation is working on developing an electronic tracking system that each Workgroup is to use under the direction of the Workgroup chair or appointee. • A draft version is explained in a Word document, it should be used with appropriate goal/objective/ strategy, names and numbers – replacing those in the draft. • These should be modified by each Workgroup so as to create one form for EACH strategy. 25April2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini

  19. Battelle: Tracking Progress in the Workgroups • If and when more sophisticated electronic versions to capture this information are developed, these will be provided to the Workgroups. • On a bi-monthly or quarterly basis, the OCCP requests that each Workgroup provide an update. • First updates desired by OCCP during June 2003 • See example……. 25April2003 -- SH Weiss, S Collini
