Overview of the Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan Dashboard
The New York State Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan 2018-2023 is a strategic planning document that outlines measurable objectives; suggested strategies; and evidence based, evidence-informed, best and promising practices focusing on seven priority areas, representing the cancer continuum, including: Cancer-related Health Equity, Health Promotion and Cancer Prevention; Early Detection; Treatment; Survivorship; Palliative Care; and Health Care Workforce. Tracking indicators were developed to access the current population's health status and to monitor progress towards meeting Plan priority area objectives. The Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan was developed by the New York State Cancer Consortium (NYSCC) with input from hundreds of organizations and individuals, including the New York State Department of Health and the American Cancer Society. The NYSCC is a statewide network of individuals and organizations that collaborate to address problems relating to cancer in New York and includes representatives from the public and private sectors engaged in research; surveillance; prevention; early detection; education; diagnosis and treatment; management; support; rehabilitation and palliative care. The mission of NYSCC is to reduce the humans and economic burden of cancer in New York State.
The New York State Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan Dashboard is an interactive visual presentation of the Comprehensive Control Plan tracking indicator data at the state level. It serves as a key source for monitoring statewide progress towards meeting the 2023 objectives. The dashboard homepage displays a quick view of the most current data for New York State and the 2023 objectives for over 40 tracking indicators for three of the seven cancer plan priority areas (health promotion and cancer prevention, early detection, and survivorship) and for cancer related health equity objectives in these priority areas. The most current data are compared to data from previous time periods to assess the performance for each indicator. Historical (trend) data can be easily accessed.
