Vision Statement | Our vision is to create positive measurable change in our local communities. Our mission is to create and implement a unique and sustainable approach to a local health disparity to move toward fulfillment of a national health objective. |
Team Objectives | Our objective was to meet the American Cancer Society target of 80% CRC screening of average-risk persons aged 50–75 years by 2018. |
Success Factors | The most successful part of our work was the direct outreach to patients. We were inspired by the enthusiasm of team members as they joined the team. |
Barriers | The largest barrier encountered was team attrition. We worked to overcome this challenge by networking with like-minded individuals and admitting/readmitting to the team as needed. |
Lessons Learned | The single most important piece of advice to provide another team embarking on a similar initiative is to offer opportunities for participation to residents at all levels, knowing that some may graduate or disengage. |
