Using Quality Improvement and Workflow Analysis to Successfully Implement Evidence‐Based Interventions to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates

Across all clinics, the CRC screening increased from 45% to 51% (p < 0.05) from baseline to third year of participation. Sixteen of out 25 clinics saw an increase in screening rates for their second year, and 14 out of 25 saw an increase in their third year. Clinics with smaller patient populations, rural clinics, clinics with fewer uninsured patients, and clinics with lower baseline rates saw greater percentage point improvements. Clinics onboarded in the second year saw the lowest gains. We conclude that a structured tailored approach to the selection of EBIs can have positive effects on CRC screening rates, but positive change may vary depending on clinic attributes.
