About the Program
Quality Health Associates of North Dakota (QHA) is partnering with North Dakota Health and Human Services (ND HHS) and North Dakota’s primary care clinics to increase breast and cervical cancer screening rates with initial focus in primary care clinics or community health centers or areas of late-stage diagnosis.
QHA will assist participating clinics using the following strategies:
- Facilitate completion of a comprehensive readiness assessment
- Provide site visits and coaching calls to assess progress, identify barriers, and develop mitigation strategies
- Guide the development of clinic-specific action plans for implementing at least two evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to address breast and cervical screening
- Advise clinic staff in leveraging their electronic health records (EHRs) to collect and report breast and cervical screening program measures
- Share resources, tools, and materials
