Organized Approaches to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening

 

The purpose of the program is to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates among an applicant-defined target population of persons 50-75 years of age within partner health system(s), defined geographical areas, or disparate populations. This program will fund implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) and other strategies in partnership with health systems with the goal of instituting organized screening programs. In addition, this program will fund a small number of awardees to pay for direct screening and follow-up services for a limited number of individuals that belong to the program priority population.

This program will fund implementation of EBIs and other strategies in partnership with health systems with the goal of instituting organized screening programs. In addition, this program will fund a small number of awardees to pay for direct screening and follow-up services for a limited number of individuals that belong to the Program Priority Population. Component 1: Health Systems Change to Increase and Improve Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening. To increase capacity and support organized CRC screening, awardees must partner with health systems, such as federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), health plan clinic networks, large physician practices, Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance plans that serve the applicant--defined target population to: a) implement EBIs identified in The Community Guide to increase CRC screening and b) measure outcomes for evaluation. To increase CRC screening and follow-up rates, awardee activities that may be funded include, but are not limited to: formally partnering with an FQHC to implement a provider-oriented intervention such as provider reminders, formally partnering with a state primary care association to create or modify FQHC operational models, or formally partnering with an insurer to implement client-oriented EBIs such as client reminders. Component 2 - CRC Screening Delivery to Improve Access to the Underserved (Optional): Awardees must use an active, existing organized screening provision program to provide CRC screening and diagnostic follow-up services for the program’s priority population as described above. Applicants must demonstrate an existing clinical and programmatic infrastructure and currently provide colorectal screening and follow-up services to the program’s priority population. Performance Reports: Annual Federal Financial Reports (FFR) and performance/progress reports are required. Final FFRs and performance reports are required. Other reporting may be required and will be outlined in the NOFO or the Notice of Award. Not applicable. In accordance with 2 CFR ?200, as codified in 45 CFR ?75, there is a 3-year record retention requirement; records shall be retained beyond the 3-year period if final audit has not been done or findings resolved. Property records must be retained in accordance with HHS Grants Policy Statement requirements. Statutory formula is not applicable to this assistance listing.
