As we head into the final days of week, here is something practical for organizations doing cancer prevention and support work. 📊
Funders are asking for outcomes. And the good news is you do not need a full data team to start measuring what matters.
Start here. Metrics most community orgs can track now:
→ Number of people screened at your events, by race and zip code
→ Follow-up rates after abnormal screening results
→ Patient referrals made to clinical trial programs
→ Barriers your team identified and helped resolve per patient
→ Peer support program attendance and retention
As your data systems grow, these become possible:
→ Time from referral to first appointment
→ Whether eligible patients received biomarker or molecular testing
→ Patient-reported quality of life over time
→ Clinical trial enrollment outcomes
The goal is not to track everything. It is to track what tells the story, anchored by your mission, of who you are reaching and what is changing for them.
Start where you are.
Build from there.
And when you are ready to strengthen your measurement systems, that is exactly what MAP Data Studio is here for.
Save this for future reference as you expand your programs. 📌
