Pilot Testing, Implementation, and Evaluation of the Cervical, Breast and Colorectal Cancer Clinical Decision Support Tools

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking applicants to pilot test, implement, and evaluate clinical decision support tools for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening. The project has two components: one focused on cervical cancer and the other on breast and colorectal cancer. The goal is to enhance guideline-concordant screening and ensure timely follow-up and management after abnormal results. The CDC expects to award two grants with a total estimated funding of $7,250,000. • The project will involve the implementation and evaluation of clinical decision support tools within a large health system. • The tools will be designed to facilitate evidence-based cancer screening and management at the point of care. • The project will include technical integration of the tools into real-world electronic health record systems. • The project will involve comprehensive documentation of the implementation process and empirical evaluation to assess the accuracy and impact of the tools.
