• Must have identified at least 1-3 outpatient oncology clinics willing to participate on the Practice Interest Form
• CLINICS:
• 1-3 clinics within the practice should be selected
• Clinics may or may not be located in different physical locations
• The investigators will encourage NCORP practices to select clinics within a practice that differ in current or potential implementation of health related social needs (HRSN) screening (e.g., different clinic workflow or staff, different screening triggers, different tools), so that heterogeneity within NCORP practices can be captured
• Clinics must be willing to allow Practice Staff participants to observe the clinical operations in-person
• PRACTICE STAFF:
• Must be willing and able to take time to observe in person and document 1-3 selected clinics within the practice (approximately 2-3 hours per clinic)
• Must be staff at the selected and enrolled practice. Suggestions of appropriate staff are cancer care delivery research (CCDR) Lead, research nurse, clinical research coordinator or NCORP Administrators. Staff members with primary clinical roles may also be appropriate, if available
• Must be willing and able to participate in two 1.5 hour virtual training sessions
• Must be willing to interview Clinic Key Informants (approximately 30 minutes per interview; in-person or remotely over the internet or by phone)

• If the clinic is chosen for Part 3, must be willing to participate in a three hour or two 1.5 hour in-person (if possible) workshop(s). If the clinic schedules an in-person workshop, there will be no hybrid or separate virtual option for those that cannot attend
