Long and Jimenez on preventive care and colorectal screening rates
Long and Jimenez cite colorectal cancer screening rates: 77% of NYC Care members versus 78% for the general population. Jimenez says this shows H&H treats everyone the same and achieves health equity.
So on the preventive care side, we break it down into two buckets.
There's chronic disease prevention and treatment, and there's prevention like vaccines, cancer prevention, things like that.
In the first category, the numbers I shared, I think, show that we do very well with chronic disease, with prevention of your chronic disease getting bad such that you have to go to the emergency room or be admitted to the hospital.
And the data shows that.
On the other side of how do we do with preventive care, I thought Dr.
Jimenez shared a really good number.
Maybe you could share again the colorectal cancer screening number.
Oh, yes.
For colorectal cancer screening, we have 77% of our NYC care members have completed their colorectal cancer screening.
And for our general population, for everyone, 78% is essentially the same.
So going back to what we were talking about, we're seeing the same outcomes because we treat everyone the same.
So you're doing it.
Thank you.
Let's keep on doing it for NRC here.
