Does your agency have a new WWC clinical provider? Are you a new WWC clinical provider?

Welcome to WWC! As a new WWC clinical provider, you will want to become familiar with the Provider Resources web page and Part 4: Clinical Services of the WWC toolkit. These sections of the toolkit include the clinical policies and guidelines that both WWC Clinical Services and WWC Care Coordination programs must follow. 

WWC uses ASCCP cervical guidelines and algorithms for cervical management and the 2011 Breast Cancer Diagnostic Algorithms for Primary Care Providers for breast management. These algorithms can be found here:

• ASCCP cervical algorithms 
• The Breast Diagnostic Algorithms for Primary Care Providers 

WWC also follows USPSTF breast cancer screening recommendations. 

• USPSTF breast cancer screening recommendations (2009)
• Draft breast cancer screening recommendations (2015)

There are a few policies that are specific to WWC, including the Clinical Concordance policy and the Targeted Screening Mammogram policy. Please review the documents below for more information on these policies.

• WWC Clinical Concordance Policy  
• WWC Targeted Screening Mammogram Resources:
