The Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan Components

The Wisconsin comprehensive cancer control plan includes:

• Vision: Healthier people in Wisconsin by reducing the impact of cancer.
• Mission: Create a consortium of public and private partners empowered to develop, implement, and promote a statewide coordinated approach to cancer control.
• Goals: 
  1. Reduce the risk of developing cancer
  2. Detect cancer at the earliest stage possible
  3. Promote access to quality comprehensive cancer care that meets or exceeds national guidelines and standards.
  4. Optimize the health-related quality of life along the continuum of care for those affected by cancer and their support networks.
  5. Improve consistency, coordination and compliance of cancer data reporting and surveillance.
• Priorities: Develop priorities from scientific data to address Wisconsin's cancer burden.
• Objectives: Incorporate objectives that address the plan’s priorities, using existing objectives from the federal Healthy People 2010, and Healthiest Wisconsin 2010, the State Health Plan. If needed, new objectives can be created.
• Strategies: Each workgroup will develop evidence-based strategies that will be action steps towards meeting the plan’s objectives.
• Cross-cutting issues that all Workgroups need to address:
  • Disparities: Ensure that priorities and strategies developed in this plan work to eliminate health disparities. These include differences in the incidence, mortality, and related adverse health conditions that exist among specific population groups. In Wisconsin, these population groups may be characterized by gender, age, ethnicity, education, income, social class, disability, geographic location, or sexual orientation.
  • Public Policy and Advocacy: Ensure that priorities and strategies developed in this plan include population-based and system changes through public policy and advocacy.
  • Access to Healthcare: Ensure that priorities and strategies developed in this plan support equal access to services throughout the continuum of cancer for all Wisconsin residents.
