Preventive Health for Adults: Current Screening Guidelines for Heart Disease and Cancer

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

To achieve the Triple Aim of Healthcare (better care, better health, and lower costs), it is critical that primary care providers be aware of appropriate means of disease prevention and detection, particularly for heart disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death in the US.

This session is specially designed for internists, family practitioners, and other primary care clinicians. After completing this activity, participants will be better able to implement the latest evidence-based guidelines for heart disease and cancer screening in front-line practice settings.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES - At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate the ability to:

- Distinguish between preventive vs diagnostic services
- Review the latest screening guidelines for major contributors of heart disease (high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol)
- Discuss the latest screening guidelines for breast, cervical, colon, lung, and prostate cancer
