Because the goal of the STOP program is to transform the way that colorectal cancer screening is delivered, the program was designed to be sustained. Rather than building a stand-alone tracking system, we built a population management system directly into the electronic health record. The care that patients receive at the clinic will therefore complement and reinforce this automated program.
Here are some letters, posters, reminder massages, and videos that you may need as your clinics implement a Mailed Fit program.
General Materials
Mailed Letters
Instructions for FIT/IFOBT Kits
Clinic Posters
Sample Messages
Additional Resources from ACS & NCCRT
Reports
Patient Letter
Patient Educational Fact Sheet
Instructions for FIT Kit
Text Message Alert and Automated Phone Call Reminder Script
Live Call Script
Health Plan Models
There are two different models used the health plans that participated in the BeneFIT study. One chose a centralized model due to their organizational structure, the other health plan chose a collaborative model due to their organizational structure and relationships with clinics/health systems. These documents help explain the two different models, their advantages and challenges, and the resources needed to implement a mailed FIT program.
- Model pros and cons – Written description of pros and cons (and features) of different models.
- Model resources – Written description of needed resources for different models: infrastructure, call coordinators/personnel, champions, contracts with mailing vendors/contracts with labs (existing relationships)
Workflows
For each of the models, the health plans used different workflows to help plan and guide the development and implementation of a mailed FIT program.
