Outcome Health Announces Partnership with Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network

CHICAGO, May 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Outcome Health, a healthcare innovation company focused on evolving the point-of-care market, today announced a partnership with Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN), the first national patient-based advocacy organization for bladder cancer. The two organizations will launch a nationwide educational campaign to increase public awareness about bladder cancer and prevention directly to patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals at the point of care.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 80,000 Americans will be diagnosed with bladder cancer this year. Outcome Health collaborated with BCAN to distribute creative assets (digital posters and videos) across its nationwide digital platform to elevate bladder cancer awareness, including research and educational resources, for audiences at the point of care.

"BCAN is on the front-lines advocating for greater public awareness and increased funding for research to identify effective treatments and eventually a cure for bladder cancer," said Andrea Maddox-Smith, BCAN's CEO. "Our partnership with Outcome Health will allow us to reach people while they're with their doctor, making both parties aware of the signs and symptoms of bladder cancer before it's too late."

In recognition of Bladder Cancer Awareness month in May, Outcome Health will distribute BCAN's message across its platform, which includes technologies such as Waiting Room TV screens, which can promote specialty-specific content and deliver lifestyle management videos to patients' pre-consultation, and Exam Room Wallboards, which offer access to 3D anatomical renderings for use during the consultation.

"Men are three to four times more likely to be diagnosed with bladder cancer than women, which is why we've ensured that BCAN's message will be deployed to our devices at urologists' offices across the country," said Heidi Anderson, Chief Growth Officer of Outcome Health. "Early detection is critical for a better prognosis, and Outcome is proud to support BCAN's medical and research professionals who are dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer."
