Quick Review before HIT Call on 12/17: What are the CDC Core Performance Indicators?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Core Performance Indicators are evidence-based benchmarks established by the CDC to measure progress toward program goals for screening and quality clinical care. WWC clinical services agencies are required to meet or exceed all six indicators.

1. Rarely or never screened for cervical cancer: At least 20 percent of all clients newly enrolled for cervical cancer screening should be clients who have never been screened for cervical cancer or who have not had a Pap test in the past five years (rarely screened).
2. Women 50 and older receiving mammograms: At least 75 percent of all screening mammograms performed should be provided to clients who are 50 years of age and older.
3. Percentage of abnormal breast cases with complete follow-up should be at least 90 percent. Follow-up is complete when cases have a final diagnosis, cancer or not cancer.
4. Timeliness of follow up for breast cases: At least 75 percent of all completed abnormal breast cases must be completed within 60 days or less.
5. Percentage of abnormal cervical cases with complete follow-up should be at least 90 percent. Follow-up is complete when cases have a final diagnosis, cancer or not cancer.
