Improve Screening for Esophageal Cancer  

• Why: Feasibility of screening for esophageal cancer via novel approaches in rural clinical primary care settings - called BEST-RPP.  
• Who is eligible: Rural clinical partners and their patients at risk for Barrett’s Esophagus or Esophageal Cancer
• What: ORPRN is partnering with OHSU gastroenterologist, Fouad Otaki, MD, who is investigating the feasibility of using a novel FDA-approved swallowable device to screen for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer in primary care. The project includes a provider and staff in-service, an opportunity for providers and staff to provide feedback about the device and refer their eligible patients to screen for esophageal cancer with the device at their clinic.

Technical Assistance for Colorectal Cancer Screening and Prevention

• Why: The Colorectal Cancer Screening and Prevention Technical Assistance Program aims to raise colorectal cancer screening rates in primary care clinics by implementing evidence-based interventions tailored to your team’s needs. Evidence-based interventions include provider assessment and feedback, provider reminders, patient reminders, and reducing structural barriers.
• Who is eligible: Primary care clinics with a colorectal cancer screening rate below 60%. Clinics serving Latino, American Indian or Alaska Native, or rural populations will be prioritized.
• What: Participating clinics will be asked to participate in a readiness assessment, select two or more evidence-based interventions to implement in your clinic, provide quarterly data on breast and cervical cancer screening rates, and attend quarterly virtual collaborative learning sessions with other participating clinics. Clinics are eligible to receive up to $7,500 for participation in the program.

Technical Assistance for Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening

• Why: The Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening and Prevention Technical Assistance Program aims to raise breast and cervical cancer screening rates in primary care clinics by implementing evidence-based interventions tailored to your team’s needs. Evidence-based interventions include provider assessment and feedback, provider reminders, patient reminders, and reducing structural barriers.
• Who is eligible: Primary care clinics interested in improving their breast and cervical cancer screening rates. Clinics serving rural or frontier populations, populations with lower screening rates, or historically underserved populations will be prioritized.
• What: Participating clinics will be asked to participate in a readiness assessment, select two or more evidence-based interventions to implement in your clinic, provide quarterly data on breast and cervical cancer screening rates, and attend quarterly virtual collaborative learning sessions with other participating clinics. Clinics are eligible to receive up to $10,000 for participation in the program.
