Guidance for Measuring Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates in Health System Clinics

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.
