174 Background: The Screening Activity Report (SAR), a supplementary tool for primary care providers (PCPs), was released in April, 2014. Providers are able to access this comprehensive report securely via an online solution and view the screening activity of their patients across Cancer Care Ontario (CCO)’s three organized cancer screening programs; breast, cervical and colorectal. The objectives of the SAR are to improve the quality of cancer screening by increasing provincial screening rates, improving the rate of appropriate follow-up of abnormal results and promote the alignment of cancer screening practices with CCO’s evidence-based clinical guidelines. Methods: CCO partnered with eHealth Ontario in 2012 to leverage their identity and access management system to provide safe and secure online access to the report. Since this time, CCO has implemented a multi-faceted campaign to support registrations to the system, encourage report access, and gather feedback on how to improve the report for future iterations. Using a detailed methodology developed by a wide range of subject matter experts at CCO, the SAR employs numerous provincial data sources to provide an overview of the patient rosters. Actionable categories are assigned at the patient level using a unique algorithm based on the latest clinical guidelines. Results: Previous to April 2014, the SAR was referred to as the ColonCancerCheck SAR (CCC SAR) as it included colorectal cancer screening data only. The last release of the CCC SAR was in October, 2013. At this time 4,824 providers were registered to the identity and access management system and adoption of this report had reached 31% after being available for five months to providers. To date, 4,992 providers are now registered and adoption of the April SAR has already reached 27% after being available for almost two months. Conclusions: The SAR is the first tool of its kind to make widespread use of eHealth’s identity and access management system service and target a broad user base of PCPs. The successful launch of the SAR has provided key insights into how technology can be leveraged to share provincial data in a meaningful way with providers and support them in improving the quality of cancer screening.
