Every Woman Matters Program Early detection of breast and cervical cancer reduced the burden of disease in women. The practices of Screening shown reduce the level of mortality and improve quality of life. The Every Woman Matters (EWM)stared in 1992 it is a federally-funded program designed to remove barrier to early screening by providing awareness and make screening more financially accessible to woman who have limited or no health insurance. The eligible women receive pay for office visits with associated clinical breast examination, pelvic examination, Papanicolaou smear test, and lab fees (Backer et al., 2004). Age-appropriate mammography and limited number of diagnostic test is also covered under program. In this paper I will discuss the possible reason of program ineffectiveness, preventive programs that advocate the early screening and strategies to create more effective preventive program.
Reasons of Program Ineffectiveness There are multiple reasons which make the program ineffective such as complex organization systems, practice diversity in their missions, the different individual personalities of heath care providers, their organizational flexibilities, the availability of resources to practice and the control they have on their use, and their leadership and team work abilities, moreover staff resistance to add more efforts required for change (Backer et al., 2004).
