All Pilot Sites
OTHERAll community health centers participating in the study will implement the new population health management tools utilizing tailored implementation strategies
Interventions
The intervention is implementation of new population health management tools that may better leverage patient navigation and other staff resources to ensure timely abnormal follow up of breast and colorectal cancer screening. The research team will work with CHCs to select implementation strategies that will best facilitate integration of the new tools into practice. The team will use electronic health record data (analyzed at the population level) to determine the impact of the new tools on screening outcomes and qualitative data from up to 3 staff and 2 patients per CHC to evaluate integration of the tools into practice.

Data Sharing
- IPD Sharing
- Will share
- Time Frame
- Transcripts with no identifiers will be stored on the Harvard Chan shared drive for 7 years. Audio files will be deleted at the end of the study period (expected to be November 2022).
- Access Criteria
- Outside investigators will need an approved concept proposal to analyze study data and spend the requisite time with study staff to learn about the data elements needed to conduct the proposed analysis. With the assistance from the study's analytic team, s/he will draft a detailed analysis plan and present to the core group of co-investigators. The discussion at this meeting ensures adequate knowledge of the data, and the presenter gains much insight into how the analysis can be most useful and how it relates to previous analyses. Once the plan is approved by this group, it must also be approved by the CHCs that provide the de-identified data. Following approval by the appropriate IRBs and confirmation that it meets HIPAA requirements, s/he may sign a DUA to use a secure, de-identified dataset to complete only the approved analyses and write the manuscript(s) offsite. A formal data analysis plan application and DUA are available. Requests should be directed to jdaly@hsph.harvard.edu.
Individual participant data that underlie the results reported here, after de-identification (text, tables, figures, and appendices). Upon request and appropriate approvals.
