Assessing and increasing patient panel size in the public sector.
Panel management is a central component of the primary care medical home, but faces numerous challenges in the safety net setting. In the San Francisco Department of Public Health, many of our community-based primary care clinics have difficulty accommodating all patients seeking care. ⋯ Routine data generation, review of data with administrators and providers, data-driven policies and panel size standards, and interventions to bolster team-based care are important tools for increasing capacity at our primary care clinics.

Cancer Plan Index: a measure for assessing the quality of cancer plans.
To (1) conduct an in-depth assessment of the content of comprehensive cancer control plans and (2) obtain data that can be used to provide guidance to grantees supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) as they refine their plans, and to other health professionals as similar planning is done. ⋯ Areas of the CPI with low average component scores should stimulate technical assistance to the funded programs, either to increase program activities or to increase discussion of key activities in the plan.
