The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is seeking community oncology practices to participate in the Health Equity Report Card Pilot Project in Community Oncology settings. This project aims to evaluate the feasibility of implementing the Health Equity Report Card (HERC), a tool developed to assess equitable care delivery practices. NCCN is seeking to work with diverse practices across the country to ensure the tool can be tested in a variety of settings.
If your practice meets the eligibility criteria listed below and is interested in learning more about the HERC pilot project, please complete this brief form: Health Equity Report Card (HERC) Community Site Interest Form.
Site Expectations
Sites will participate in the 18-month project period. Sites will complete a self-score at baseline and 15-months utilizing a secure REDCap database, and NCCN will provide third-party score reports. Based on scores, sites will develop strategies to address low-scoring areas. NCCN will engage with the sites to solicit feedback through surveys and site visits, to continue to enhance the HERC, processes, and resources. Project support totaling $50,000 will be provided in five milestone payments to participating sites. Note that this project does not collect any protected health information.
