Getting To Implementation: Improving Cancer Screening for Veterans

Getting To Implementation: Comparing the Effectiveness of Implementation Strategies to Improve Cancer Screening for Veterans

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 31 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Gastrointestinal cancers such as colon cancer and liver cancer cause many deaths in the US. Testing could catch these cancers early, helping people live longer. The goal of this study is to compare two different ways of getting more people tested for these cancers: 1) by directly reaching out to the people who need testing or 2) by helping providers fix issues that hold up testing. The main question it aims to answer is: how should healthcare systems go about choosing one or the other? Researchers will look at cancer testing rates over time at sites that are trying these different approaches. They will also survey and interview participants from these sites.
