This non-compliance exacerbates health disparities, particularly among underserved populations. The aim statement targets a 25% improvement by integrating systematic interventions. Standardized protocols will reduce variability in provider practices, while EHR reminders will address forgetfulness during patient visits. Staff education ensures alignment with USPSTF guidelines, fostering a culture of accountability. This approach aligns with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI) goals of reducing preventable harm through structured processes (Roberti et al., 2025). The 90% benchmark reflects organizational quality metrics and mirrors successful outcomes in similar settings (Manandi et al., 2023).2Range of Potential Strategies/InterventionsLiterature-Supported Strategies:EHR Clinical Decision Support (CDS):Automated reminders for overdue screenings (Davidson et al., 2022).Proven to increase screening rates by 20–30% in primary care.Provider Education Workshops:Interactive sessions on USPSTF guidelines (Guirguis-Blake et al., 2023).Patient Outreach Programs:Text/email reminders for preventive care appointments.Gaps in Literature:Limited studies on cost-effectiveness of multicomponent interventions in rural clinics.Existing literature highlights EHR-based tools as the most scalable intervention, with studies showing significant improvements in screening adherence (Davidson et al., 2022). However, standalone EHR reminders may lack impact without provider buy-in, underscoring the need for education (Guirguis-Blake et al., 2023). Patient engagement strategies, though promising, are less studied in low-resource settings. Manandi et al. (2023) note that multicomponent interventions (e.g., EHR + education) yield the highest compliance rates but require robust infrastructure. Notably, no studies addressed sociocultural barriers in underserved populations, suggesting a need for tailored solutions. This gap informed the selection of a hybrid approach combining EHR optimization with team training.3Selected Strategy: PDSA CyclePlan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Framework:Plan: Develop screening protocols and EHR reminder templates.Do: Pilot with 2–3 providers over 4 weeks.Study: Analyze screening rates and staff feedback.Act: Scale successful interventions clinic-wide.Why PDSA?Iterative testing minimizes disruption (Roberti et al., 2025).Aligns with IHI’s evidence-based improvement models.The PDSA cycle was used because it is flexible and a proven success in primary care (Roberti et al., 2025). The “Plan” phase involves collaboration with IT to create EHR alerts using patient age/risk factors. In “Do,” technical or workflow barriers are found through small-scale testing. The “Study” step uses clinic performance measures and surveys of staff to refine interventions iteratively to make them usable. For example, in the event of neglecting reminders, additional modules of education will be added. Finally, “Act” implements all provider changes through practice, and monthly auditing to ensure sustainability. This solution meets the clinic’s resource constraints yet still manages within the 6-month time frame (Manandi et al., 2023).4Rationale for PDSA SelectionClinic-Specific Fit:Limited resources favor incremental changes over costly system overhauls.High staff turnover necessitates simple, replicable processes.Evidence Base:PDSA improved screening rates by 22% in similar settings (Manandi et al., 2023).The PDSA cycle’s incremental nature minimizes resistance to change, a consideration that is critical with the clinic’s heterogeneous group of providers. The cycle’s nature allows for rapid revision—crucial in a high-volume setting where workflows vary. There is proof of PDSA success in cardiovascular risk factor management, with a goal achievement rate of 68% when supported by adequate staffing (Manandi et al., 2023). In addition, the model’s emphasis on data-driven decision-making aligns with the electronic health record capacity of the clinic, with results that are measurable. The strategy also addresses USPSTF’s call for “system-level changes” to eliminate guideline-practice disparities (Davidson et al., 2022).5Key Stakeholders in ImplementationProviders: Order screenings and engage in education.IT Team: Configure EHR reminders and run reports.Nursing Staff: Execute point-of-care screenings.Clinic Leadership: Allocate time/resources for training.Successful operationalization requires multidisciplinary effort. Providers need to drive the process, with IT providing easy-to-use EHR tools (e.g., pop-up reminders with single-click ordering options). Nursing staff, often the first to interact with patients, will receive training on streamlined workflows to avoid delays. Clinic leadership’s role includes approving protected time for PDSA reviews and celebrating milestones to sustain motivation. For example, monthly feedback sessions will address challenges like alert fatigue. This team-based approach mirrors IHI’s “whole-system” philosophy, where shared accountability drives improvement (Roberti et al., 2025).6ReferencesBarry, M. J., Wolff, T. A., Pbert, L., Davidson, K.
