Screenings

Most people know that at age 45 one is due for a colorectal screening. Other common ones include bone density scans at age 65 and the shingles vaccine at age 50. In your organization, what screenings should be taking place and at what years or milestone markers? Major budget officer or administrative officer turnover? A thorough financial audit (if not already done). Running a self-insured health program? Every five years, a dependent eligibility audit for your health insurance participants. Heavy in terms of policies, procedures and so forth? Every year (if you can) an analysis of policies and which ones should stay, go, and/or be amended. Have a Board? Upon changeover of a council or board, make sure you undergo a council-manager or administration-governance training. Institutionalizing these in your community or organization will be foundational to the long-term success and health of your organization.
