Adapting a Remotely Delivered Patient Navigation Program for Colorectal Cancer Screening in Primary Care: Important Considerations for Rural Contexts.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Colonoscopy is a critical component of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and patient navigation (PN) improves colonoscopy completion. A lay navigator remotely providing navigation across rural primary care organizations (PCOs) could increase PN access. In preparation for the Colonoscopy Outreach for Rural Communities (CORC) study, we examined partners' perspectives on contextual factors that could influence CORC program implementation, and adaptations to mitigate potential barriers.

Methods

We interviewed 29 individuals from 6 partner PCOs and the community-based organization (CBO) delivering the PN program. An analysis approach informed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana identified critical themes. Results are reported using the Framework for Reporting Adaptations
