Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to evaluate the status of colorectal cancer screening in the United States and assess the implementation of EBIs to promote higher rates of colorectal cancer screening.

Effective collaboration between public health and the health care system is essential for connecting medical and community health–related resources and improving population health. We investigated the linkages between local health departments and primary care clinics in Nebraska. Linkages focused on the control and prevention of chronic diseases and on traditional public health programs, including screening for cancer and other chronic diseases, vaccinations, worksite wellness programs, home visits, clinic and medication assistance referrals, health message development, electronic health records data analyses, staff education, and improvements in policies and procedures. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to describe collaborations and barriers to collaboration between health departments and clinics in Nebraska.

These videos provide guidance and tools for clinicians on the optimal ways to implement screening for colorectal cancer to help ensure that patients receive maximum benefit. There are two versions of this course: one for primary care providers and one for clinicians who perform colonoscopy. Continuing education credit is no longer available.
