Guidance for Measuring Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates in Health System Clinics

Guidance for Measuring Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening Rates in Health System Clinics. DP15-1502 Colorectal Cancer Control Program CDC’s Colorectal Cancer Control Program has awarded grants to increase colorectal cancer screening rates among a target population within a partner health system, geographical area, or disparate population. Grantees implement evidence-based interventions and other supportive strategies in partnership with health systems to put into place organized screening programs. In addition, grantees measure and report to CDC a baseline screening rate for health systems where implementation is planned, followed by an annual screening rate report.

Guidance for Measuring Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates in Health System Clinics [PDF-357KB] provides CDC’s DP15-1502 grantees with guidance for measuring baseline and, thereafter, annual colorectal cancer screening rates within participating health system clinics.

CDC is conducting an evaluation of the CRCCP that includes monitoring clinic-level screening rates. “Planning a national-level data collection protocol to measure outcomes for the Colorectal Cancer Control Program” [PDF-407KB] describes CDC’s evaluation planning.
