Brief summary

This study is to assess the impact of the CARES-REACH intervention on colorectal cancer screening rates.

Detailed description

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.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALProvider Tools

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.

BEHAVIORALProvider surveys

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)

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Change in Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates - Initial FIT	Years 1-5	Percentage of patients who complete initial Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)
Change in Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates - Repeat FIT	Years 1-5	Percentage of patients who complete a repeat Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Differences in Screening Rates	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.
