Find a “change agent” within the clinical staff to promote the policy change. We learned to share the success one department is having with other departments. It makes the positive change contagious!

“QuIC” Tip:
Patients are classified during phases of outreach (FIT agree, Cologuard agree, Colonoscopy agree; Patient refusal; test sent (received) no results/no return). This helps to group patients together and do more focused follow-ups, and also allows the quality team to re-review the patients who do not have results on file.
