The purpose of the program is to implement evidence based interventions (EBIs) in primary care clinics that provide clinical services to populations with low CRC screening rate in order to improve screening rates in those clinics. We are targeting clinics in west and south Louisville, rural western Kentucky and Appalachian counties. These areas are targeted due to large numbers of underserved/unscreened residents. We have established partnerships with organizations uniquely placed to collaborate with KDPH in carrying out the required work. They include the American Cancer Society, Kentucky Regional Extension Center, Kentucky Cancer Programs at UK and UL, and the Kentucky Primary Care Association. Together we will work with clinics connected to large health systems to evaluate clinical workflows, patient education methods and their EHR capability and implement appropriate evidence based interventions from the Community Guide for Preventive Services to improve quality CRC screening rates.
