Preventive Care
Preventive healthcare consists of measures taken for disease prevention, as opposed to disease treatment. Health, disease, and disability are dynamic processes that begin before individuals realize they’re affected.
“The prevention of serious illness through immunizations and early detection and treatment of disease benefits everyone — the individual, who experiences little or no disruption to their family life, education, employment, and financial circumstances; the employer and family, who don't need to scramble to compensate for absent or incapacitated members; and the community, which benefits from lower healthcare costs, insurance premiums, and societal burdens in caring for those who are ill or disabled."
– Melanie Mouzoon, MD, FAAP, FABM

Patient series Completion by 24 Months Old. Immunizations are essential for disease prevention and are a critical aspect of preventable care for children. Hundreds of children in the United States die each year from vaccine-preventable diseases. Childhood vaccines protect children from a number of serious and potentially life-threatening diseases such as diphtheria, measles, meningitis, polio, tetanus, and whooping cough, at a time in their lives when they are most vulnerable to disease. Vaccination coverage must be maintained in order to prevent a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases.
Colorectal Cancer Screening+ | Age 45 - 75

| 2022 Kelsey-Seybold ACO | 53% |
* The ages for the Colorectal Cancer Screening measure was updated in HEDIS Measurement Year 2022 to align with the updates to the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines to assess for adults ages 45 - 75. HEDIS commercial data has not been released since updated age measures changed.
+ Tests include colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, FIT, and FIT-DNA.
Colorectal Cancer Screening. Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Routine screening can find cancer early when treatment is most effective, but many adults don’t get recommended screenings. While the majority of colorectal cancer diagnoses are for people 50 and older, incidence is rising in younger adults. Therefore, it is recommended that screening begin at age 45.
Breast Cancer Screening+ | Age 50 - 74
| Year | Progress |
|---|---|
| 2022 Kelsey-Seybold ACO | 70% |
| National Average - HMO* | 71% |
| National Average - PPO* | 70% |
* Comparison measures are based off most recent HEDIS commercial data and represent the statistical mean for reported compliance data. Each measure is described by an average rate for each applicable measure based on data gathered from HEDIS reporting entities.
+ Tests include mammogram screening and mammogram diagnostic.
Breast Cancer Screening. Aside from some forms of skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, regardless of race or ethnicity. Screening can improve outcomes: Early detection reduces the risk of dying from breast cancer and can lead to a greater range of treatment options and lower healthcare costs.
*The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information set (HEDIS) is a tool used by most HMO and PPO plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service.
All HEDIS comparison data is complied from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) annual State of Healthcare Quality Report.
NCQA produces The State of Health Care Quality Report every year to focus on key quality issues the United States faces and to drive improvement in the delivery of evidence-based medicine. This report documents performance trends over time, tracks variation in care and recommends quality improvements.
