Task Order
Description
The contractor will analyze the experience of the intervention group in each demonstration site compared to the relevant comparison group and to the relevant Medicare population-at-large. This comparison will be accomplished by addressing such issues as the elimination or reduction of disparities in cancer screening rates, timely facilitation of diagnostic testing, timely facilitation of appropriate treatment modalities, use of health services, the cost-effectiveness of each demonstration project, the quality of services provided, and beneficiary and provider (e.g., patient navigators/case managers/treatment facilitators as well as clinical staff) satisfaction. Six demonstration sites have received awards (Baltimore, Detroit, Hawaii, Houston, Newark, and rural Utah/Montana). The task order contract is funded in four, one-year phases: Phase One: September 30, 2005 - September 29, 2006; Phase Two: September 30, 2006 - September 29, 2007; Phase Three: September 30, 2007 - September 29, 2008; and Phase Four: September 30, 2008 - September 29, 2009. Phase IV is currently funded.
