"QuIC" Tip:
It's important to ensure you have a good process for record collection from outside systems if your patients complete CRC screening elsewhere. We learned there were gaps in our process for this, resulting in having to chart scrub many patient charts prior to sending out fecal immunochemical test-immunochemical fecal occult blood test (FIT-FOBT) kits.

Implemented Intervention
FIT-FOBT kit mail-out: Identified patients who were overdue for CRC screening for more than one year in a rural area. Created a process to mail FIT-FOBT kits directly to patients’ homes. Along with kits, we sent education surrounding all other options for CRC screening.
