Broad Eligibility
Qualified Iowa applicants able to implement the required colorectal-cancer screening evidence-based interventions in clinical settings. Exact organizational eligibility, service-area, staffing and screening-baseline requirements are controlled by RFP PHTHOCC27705 and its amendment.
Atlas Analysis
Moderate-to-strong fit for clinical organizations that already perform colorectal-cancer screening and can improve patient navigation, EHR workflows, data use and quality improvement. This is less directly aligned to remote-exam technology than Iowa Healthy Hometowns opportunities, but it is an actionable near-term healthcare grant with meaningful health-IT and workflow components.
Iowa HHS issued RFP PHTHOCC27705 to increase colorectal cancer screening through evidence-based interventions in clinical settings. The work includes addressing patient barriers, patient navigation, quality improvement, provider and patient reminders, and stronger use of electronic health record workflows and data.
Iowa HHS clarified that approximately $516,000 is available per contract year and will be divided among awarded contractors. Screening and diagnostic services themselves are supported outside this RFP, so applicants should focus the grant budget on the required intervention, navigation, EHR, workforce, quality-improvement and reporting work.
