ACHL and University of Chicago Releases New Toolkit to Reduce Delays in Breast Cancer Care for Women of Color

Introducing a Breast Cancer Care Quality Improvement (Q1) Toolkit – a comprehensive resource designed to enhance your ability to provide timely and equitable care to all patients, regardless of their background or circumstances. 

 

The University of Chicago Center for Continuing Medical Education in partnership with the Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning (ACHL) has created the Leading the Way: Improving Breast Cancer Disparities in Chicago QI toolkit to reduce delays in patient care for minority patients in Chicago. 

 

QI toolkit includes templates and educational workshops backed by data to equip breast cancer health professionals with up-to-date practices to serve patients in underserved communities. 

What’s Inside:

  • Education Materials & Tools: Access a range of patient-friendly materials, designed to raise awareness about the importance of early cancer detection and screenings among minority communities.

 

  • Community Outreach Strategies: Discover effective strategies for reaching out to underserved communities and engaging them in cancer prevention and early detection initiatives.

 

  • Patient Stories: Gain insights from patient testimonials and experiences, helping you understand the challenges they face and how to better support them.

 

“Enhanced clinical training and continuing education in health professions can effectively translate research about what fuels disparities into actionable change.”
