Abstrakt:	Background: The objective of this study was to understand health care providers' perspectives regarding the facilitators of and barriers to the success of the former Pap and VIA-based cervical cancer program in Iquitos, Peru, using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to inform the transition to the HPV screen-and-treat intervention. By exploring the pre-implementation organizational context, or inner setting, through the opinions of those who would implement the HPV-based intervention at the patient care level, this research lays the foundation to assess readiness before implementation and understand what's necessary to design contextually appropriate and sustainable interventions in LMIC settings. Methods: We conducted 19 semi-structured interviews with health professionals (12 nurse-midwives, 4 doctors, and 3 laboratory technicians) who administered the former Pap- and VIA-based cervical cancer EDT program. Results: Providers identified information gaps between the primary level of care, where cervical cancer screening occurs, and the hospital level of care, where diagnosis and treatment occurs. These gaps, which were caused in part by fragmented, antiquated, and overlapping data systems, resulted in the loss of patients between levels of care. Participants also noted a lack of trained personnel and basic materials. Some providers found their way around these gaps by facilitating informal information exchanges among providers to ensure women were not lost to follow-up. Conclusions: PPC relied on these findings and other data from INSPIRE Phase 1 to implement a HPV-based screen-and-treat program that dramatically increased screening and treatment; however, challenges remain regarding resources and sustainability related to HPV technology.
