Details:
The WISEWOMAN Program extends preventive health services to participants of the CDC-funded National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). These extended preventive health services include assessment of cardiovascular risk factors and provision of services to reduce those risks through improved diet, physical activity, tobacco cessation, and medication adherence support.
CDC’s Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation (WISEWOMAN) program is at the forefront of the nation’s efforts to improve cardiovascular health for low-income, uninsured, and underinsured participants. Congress authorized the WISEWOMAN program in 1993 to extend the preventive health services offered to participants of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). The intent is to expand services to NBCCEDP participants aged 35-64 to address cardiovascular health concerns in a population made vulnerable through social determinants of health.
Outcomes
Recipients are expected to achieve the following outcomes by the end of the period of performance:
- Strategy 1:
- Increased number of under- and uninsured participants, ages 35-64, who receive CVD risk assessment.
- Increased use of electronic health records (EHR) and health information technology (HIT) to query, monitor, and track clinical and social services and support needs data for improved identification, management, and treatment of participants at risk of CVD, particularly hypertension.

- Increased use of metrics from program data to guide quality improvement activities to increase program enrollment, retention, and referrals to additional services.

- Strategy 2:
- Increased use of multidisciplinary care teams adhering to evidence-based guidelines to address patient needs.
- Increased multidisciplinary partnerships with a network of state, regional, and local social services and support.
- Strategy 3:
