Our KanSurvive Practice Facilitation (PF) Program is designed to provide hands-on, collaborative assistance to clinics as they improve cancer survivorship care. Effective quality improvement (QI) in rural primary care settings requires tailored support to help clinics integrate evidence-based practices into daily workflows. Through structured coaching, data-driven decision-making, and workflow optimization, our facilitators work alongside clinic teams to create sustainable improvements in care delivery.

Guided Implementation of Best Practices
-
Our trained practice facilitators help clinics integrate guideline-concordant cancer survivorship care into routine practice, ensuring providers have the tools and workflows necessary to meet patient needs.
Customized QI Strategies
-
Facilitators assist clinics in identifying and addressing care gaps through tailored QI approaches, including Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles, workflow redesign, and team-based care models.
​
Enhanced Use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
-
Facilitators support practices in leveraging EHR tools, such as smart phrases and clinical decision support, to systematically identify cancer survivors and track survivorship care delivery.
Sustained Practice Change
-
Unlike one-time training sessions, our facilitators provide ongoing coaching and technical support to help clinics sustain improvements long after initial implementation.
