Design and Development of a High-Risk Breast Program
Chairs: Mary E. Frievogel, MS, CGC
& Teresa Heckel, MBA, FABC, FNCBC
3 Credits
Developing and implementing a High Risk Breast Program can be challenging as there is no "one size fits all" approach. A true comprehensive program requires the dedication and investment of various stakeholders with different and often divergent perspectives and values, which can make implementation seem like an uphill battle. Additionally, the lack of robust data about clinical and financial outcomes can make development of the business case difficult. Administrators and clinicians in the community setting are often grappling with what resources and investments are needed, then understanding how to pull them all together to launch a sustainable, comprehensive program. These sessions will focus on developing, justifying and operationalizing a top-notch High Risk Breast Program, and the key business considerations for planning, developing and implementing, along the care continuum. It will be applicable to administrators and clinical providers, including nurse navigators, nurse practitioners, physicians, and genetic counselors.
Distinguished faculty also includes:
