Colorectal Cancer Screening Quality and Innovation Collective (QuIC)
AMGA brings together medical groups and health systems to address and tackle the most challenging issues that are affecting their organizations and the populations they serve. Building on AMGA Foundation’s successful Best Practices Learning Collaborative model, AMGA designed an opportunity for member medical groups and health systems to engage in a high-level discussion on colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
CRC is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women. It is the third leading cause of cancer death in both men and women and the second overall when men and women are combined. Screening reduces CRC mortality both by decreasing incidence and increasing survival.*
The CRC QuIC was implemented in three phases: Listen to high-level discussions through a virtual discussion forum; Share current care practices through virtual collaborative meetings; and Create new models and care paths through interactive workshops.
