Interventions
BEHAVIORALQuality Improvement Practice Facilitation Intervention
The practice facilitation intervention (implementation strategy package) consists of QI projects designed for primary care providers with external practice facilitation and technical support provided by a QI Coach and Data Coach on our team. The QI projects focus on the implementation of cancer prevention and early detection guidelines in primary care settings, specifically one QI project for each of the following clinical guidelines: colorectal cancer screening, lung cancer screening, and tobacco treatment. The study participants are the healthcare providers and staff, not the patients, since the goal of the practice facilitation intervention (implementation strategy package) is to improve the implementation of existing standard of care.
