Health Equity Report Card (HERC) Community Site Interest

NCCN will collaborate with five community oncology practices to pilot the implementation of the HERC over approximately 18-months. We are seeking a diverse group of community oncology practices to ensure the tool is tested in a variety of settings.

Goal: Evaluate the performance of the HERC in identifying and measuring health care practices with the potential to advance equitable care within health care organizations.

Primary Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of implementing the HERC with scoring at community oncology practices.

Site Expectations: Sites will participate in the 18-month project period. Sites will complete a self-score at baseline and 15-months utilizing a secure REDCap database, and NCCN will provide third-party score reports. Based on scores, sites will develop strategies and action plans to address low-scoring areas. NCCN will regularly engage with the sites to solicit feedback through surveys and site visits, to continue to enhance the HERC, processes, and resources. Project support totaling $50,000 will be provided in five milestone payments to participating sites. Note that this project does not collect any protected health information.
