BOGG nears completion with Harvard Pilgrim Pap smear grant project

BOGG is in the final stages of completing a six month project related to cervical cancer screenings and early detection of cervical cancer. In 2009, our practice was awarded a grant from Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare to outreach to patients (of any insurance carrier) who had not had a Pap smear within the previous three years. The purpose of the outreach effort was to educate patients about the importance of regular screenings for early detection of cervical cancer, as well as to increase compliance with the recommended screening regimens.

The results of the grant will help other practices form programs for increasing cervical screening rates among their eligible patients. We are proud to have been a part of this important initiative, working to support the long term health of our patients while providing important benchmarking in quality measures for cervical cancer screening.
