How study findings inform development of capacity-building training and tools

CFIR domain and construct Target gaps in FQHC staffs’ capacity to . . . Leverage existing partnerships and other capacity-building strategies
Process
 Planning Assess local factors that contribute to low screening rates
 Engaging Identify and prepare champions and implementation leaders Align with other external change agents that build FQHC capacity
 Executing Develop and execute implementation plans
 Reflecting and evaluating • Use existing sources of data
• Collect qualitative and quantitative data
• Use data to improve processes and outcomes
Outer setting
 Patient needs and resources • Assess patient level factors that contribute to low screening rates
• Identify and partner with colonoscopy providers
Refer to sources of tailored patient education materials (e.g., Make it Your Own [28])
 External policy and incentives Provide grant funding for CRC screening intervention selection in addition to implementation
 Cosmopolitanism Work within existing regional and state QI networks
Inner setting
 Networks and communication • Leverage FQHC’s existing QI and communication infrastructure
• Strengthen QI and communication infrastructure
Establish minimum QI infrastructure as a criterion for FQHC to participate in training
 Implementation climate Use data feedback and other strategies to sustain investment in CRC screening as a priority Provide grant funding so that FQHCs will prioritize CRC screening
 Readiness for implementation • Engage leadership support
• Educate and motivate staff
Provide grant funding to hire additional staff and purchase resources
