In many clinical settings, effective cancer control is hampered by barriers related to the acute-care orientation of most medical practices. These include: prioritization of medical problems on the basis of urgency; a problem-oriented medical record that provides no ongoing documentation mechanism for cancer screening; conflicting guidelines; and no method for identifying and targeting persons who are eligible for screening. In contrast, HMOs are uniquely suited to deliver effective cancer control as they have already established many of the linkages required for successful primary and secondary prevention.
