OAFP members and their practice teams have a unique opportunity to take part in a quality improvement (QI) project to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates in their practice. Teams will hear from expert speakers on best practices in screening protocols, up-to-date guidelines, and the importance of QI in patient care and population health as a whole. Participants will use an online module to measure their team engagement, benchmark patient data, select an intervention for care delivery, and re-measure outcome data after a six-month change period.

Of the practices that completed the program in 2018, an average of 31% saw an increase in colorectal cancer screening rates! Not only was this program recognized with the 80% by 2018 National Achievement Award by the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable, it continues to provide practice teams and their patients with positive outcome measures!

Designed with the needs of a busy family medicine practice in mind, this program will:

• Engage the entire office staff with team training; 
• Offer valuable live CME credits that are transferable to all members of the care team;
• Provide credit toward your American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) Family Medicine
• Certification Performance Improvement requirements; and,
• Provide 20 hours of Performance Improvement in Practice credits from the American Academy of Family Physicians.
