Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. This program evaluation was conducted to assess the outcomes of a nurse practitioner–led quality improvement program to increase CRC screening in primary care using the logic model framework. The GetFIT for CRC program consisted of applying a multifaceted intervention to reduce barriers to CRC screening via fecal immunochemical testing (FIT), thereby increasing FIT compliance. FIT completion rates rose to 65.4% 6 months postimplementation, showing special cause variation based on Institute for Healthcare Improvement rules. The increase in completion rates continues to be sustained at 58.5% 12 months after implementation.
