As a companion to the Patient Safety Adoption Framework & Guidance document, the Developing and Implementing a Colorectal Cancer Ambulatory Safety Net guide uses colorectal cancer and the follow up of abnormal at-home screening tests or delays in interval colonoscopy (when a colonoscopy is recommended sooner than the standard screening interval) to illustrate the phases and components of ASN development and implementation.
The recommendations included in this guide are a starting point for successful implementation and will need to be adapted to the unique context of each organization to support its strategic goals.
