Strategies for Addressing Low Cancer Screening Adherence

Despite the crucial role of cancer screenings in early detection and treatment, low adherence rates pose significant challenges. In addition, only four single-cancer screenings are currently recommended by the US Preventative Task Force, leaving the population vulnerable to cancers that go unscreened, which results in ~70% of cancer deaths.1 The financial implications of late-stage cancer further underscore the urgency of improving screening adherence. Metastatic cancer accounts for over half of employers' total direct cancer spend, averaging over $90,000 per impacted employee per year.2 This starkly contrasts with the significantly lower costs of treating cancers caught at stage 1,3 highlighting the importance of early detection. In this session, GRAIL and CHG Healthcare will share successful strategies for enhancing screening adherence. Learn actionable approaches to drive early detection, mitigate financial risks, and optimize outcomes for employees and employers.

Concurrent Session: Increasing Adult Preventive Use to Improve Health and Cost Outcomes and Reduce Disparities in Care

Employers today average roughly one out of three adults engaged in preventive care. The result is poor engagement with primary care, inefficient use of the healthcare system in general and declining health. This presentation describes how PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) incorporated a deliberate strategy of providing in-depth preventive care while simultaneously increasing engagement to more than double this national average and the resulting outcomes following a comprehensive analysis of clinical, claims and other workforce data sources.

Concurrent Session: Repositioning Mental Health Benefits to Break Down Stigma and Increase Engagement

One of the most pressing challenges for employers is driving engagement in their health and well-being benefits and connecting people to the right resources at the right time – especially in contexts where stigma can deter people from seeking help. This challenge is further complicated when teams operating across hundreds of locations aren’t in front of a desk and maintain round-the-clock staffing. In this session, you'll discover how Pilot Company successfully repositioned its workforce mental health strategy to appeal to a broader audience: those who may be hesitant to seek support and those who stand to benefit from proactive wellbeing resources. We'll explore practical communication strategies Pilot Company deploys to enhance engagement with their benefits. Additionally, we'll discuss how to foster collaboration and integration across the benefits ecosystem – ensuring team members (and their families) receive support for their total well-being.

Moving from Reaction to Action: Cancer Control as a Workforce Strategy

Healthcare coverage constitutes what is often the largest part of employer benefits spend, and chief among these expenses is cancer. When it comes to the status quo of cancer care today, traditional benefit plans often react too late, when the disease has progressed to a later stage, incurring higher costs and impacting employee well-being. This session will highlight how [Company] revolutionized its approach, reaching beyond the status quo by implementing a comprehensive strategy spanning early detection through distributed screening to providing navigation throughout a diagnosis through to supporting survivors. Join this session to learn how proactive and complete cancer management can not only curb costs but also empower employees to take back control of cancer.
