Abstract

SCALE-UP Utah is a community-academic partnership to address COVID-19 among Utah community health centers. The long-term objective of the project is to increase the reach, acceptance, uptake, and long-term sustainability of COVID-19 screening and testing among Utah's Community Health Center patient population. The study will compare two practical, feasible, scalable interventions to increase COVID-19 testing uptake in Utah Community Health Centers:1. Text Messaging (TM): population health management (PHM) intervention that analyzes EHR data to automatically identify patients with high risk for either infection or severe disease, reaches and screens those patients, and addresses testing logistics using bi-directional text messaging.2. Patient Navigation (PN): PHM intervention to increase testing uptake among eligible patients (identified via TM) using patient navigation (e.g., motivating patients, addressing logistics and barriers).The project will employ a rapid cycle research approach in which interventions are tested on a small scale, using short time frames (e.g., \
