Cancer Causes Control

IntroductionIn the early 1990s, a comprehensive cancer control (CCC) approach was developed in the United States (US). In 2003, the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) adopted the CCC approach through a regional coalition, the Cancer Council of the Pacific Islands (CCPI). Using the CCC approach, the CCPI developed jurisdiction-specific cancer coalitions and initiated their respective cancer plans.MethodsThe evolution of the CCC approach and the history of the CCPI regional coalition are reviewed. The outcomes of the regional approach for cancer control in the USAPI are described to illustrate the possibilities, value-added and innovation of using a CCC strategy in a multi-national coalition based in a resource-limited environment.ResultsThe CCC approach enabled the CCPI to (1) harmonize cancer control efforts between the six USAPI jurisdictions, (2) represent the USAPI cancer needs as a single voice, and (3) develop a regional cancer control strategy. Outcomes include (1) a regional cancer registry, (2) three sequential regional CCC plans, (3) leveraged resources for the USAPI, (4) enhanced on-site technical assistance and training, (5) improved standards for cancer screening, (6) evidence-based cancer control interventions adapted for the USAPI.ConclusionThe regional CCPI coupled with the CCC approach is an effective engine of change. The CCC strategies enabled navigation of the political, geographic, cultural, and epidemiologic Pacific environment. The regional partners have been able to harmonize cancer control efforts in resource-limited settings. Regional cancer coalitions may be effective in the global arena for cancer control between communities, states, or countries.NU58DP006336/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/DP000777/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/NU58DP006269/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/DP003906/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/DP000779/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/2U54CA143727/National Cancer Institute/DP000826/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/17NU58DP006312/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/NU58DP006348/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/DP000976/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/NU58DP005810/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/DP00847/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/U58 DP000835/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesDP003939/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/NU58DP006335/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/U58 DP003906/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesDP000781/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/NU58DP006303/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/NU58DP006289/National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion/2018-12-29T00:00:00Z30535525PMC6311141vault:3129

Improving Employee Voice About Transgressive or Disruptive Behavior: A Case Study.

PURPOSE: Employee voice plays an important role in organizational intelligence about patient safety hazards and other influences on quality of patient care. The authors report a case study of an academic medical center that aimed to understand barriers to voice and make improvements in identifying and responding to transgressive or disruptive behaviors. METHOD: The case study focused on an improvement effort at Johns Hopkins Medicine that sought to improve employee voice using a two-phase approach of diagnosis and intervention. Confidential interviews with 67 individuals (20 senior leaders, 47 frontline personnel) were conducted during 2014 to diagnose causes of employee reluctance to give voice about behavioral concerns. A structured intervention program to encourage voice was implemented, 2014-2016, in response to the findings. RESULTS: The diagnostic interviews identified gaps between espoused policies of encouraging employee voice and what happened in practice. A culture of fear pervaded the organization that, together with widespread perceptions of futility, inhibited personnel from speaking up about concerns. The intervention phase involved four actions: sharing the interview findings; coordinating and formalizing mechanisms for identifying and dealing with disruptive behavior; training leaders in encouraging voice; and building capacity for difficult conversations. CONCLUSIONS: The problems of giving voice are widely known across the organizational literature but are difficult to address. This case study offers an approach that includes diagnostic and intervention phases that may be helpful in remaking norms, facilitating employee voice, and improving organizational response. It highlights specific actions that are available for other organizations to adapt and test.This study was funded by Mary Dixon-Woods’ Wellcome Trust Investigator award (WT097899) and by Johns Hopkins Medicine.
