About this study

This study will not accrue individual patients. Instead, the investigators are collecting process data from health care providers to determine the procedures that impact or help to increase colorectal cancer screening rates.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Staff and providers working in a clinic within one of the two participating systems
  • Involved in adult patient care

Exclusion criteria

  • Staff and providers who are not engaged in directing or decisions related to colo-rectal cancer screening

Treatment and study plan

Provider Tools

Behavioral

Providers will be trained to use Electronic Medical Record (EMR) tools and prompts, and an organization wide cancer control champion will be trained to motivate providers and navigate patients.

Provider surveys

Behavioral

Remote/electronic data collection surveys will be conducted with clinic institution leaders, cancer control champions, and providers from various clinic locations to solicit feedback about implementation processes at three time points (baseline, mid-point and end of study implementation)

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates - Initial FIT

    Time frame: Years 1-5

    Percentage of patients who complete initial Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)

  2. Change in Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates - Repeat FIT

    Time frame: Years 1-5

    Percentage of patients who complete a repeat Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Differences in Screening Rates

    Time frame: Years 2-5

    Screening rate differences to determine how variables such as clinic setting (rural vs urban), population characteristics such as nativity (foreign born status), language preference, education, income, health insurance, etc. differentially impact annual clinic Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening rates.
