30 november 2011 uppdaterad av: Kenzie Cameron, Northwestern University
Using Precision Performance Measurement To Conduct Focused Quality Improvement. Sub-study 2
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether patient outreach is effective at increasing compliance with preventative screenings for those patients who, based on national quality standards, have become newly eligible for screening measures.
We hypothesize that educational outreach may increase completion rates.

Inget ingripande: Usual Care
Usual Care.
Participants in this arm will receive Usual care until outcome assessment is performed at 6 months following randomization.
At that time, they will be sent a letter reminding them to obtain the ordered preventative service test, however no further outcomes will be assessed.
Thus, during the course of the study, all participants in this arm will have solely received usual care.

Completion of CRC Screening
Tidsram: 6 months from initial contact
|
What would have been reported as this Outcome Measure is the number of participants who completed screening.
We planned to review electronic health records of participants 6 months post randomization to look for either: (1) note in free text MD note documenting receipt of one form of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening during study period or (2)lab results from fecal occult blood test, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy.
Screening completion equaled presence of a lab result or physician note in chart.
No patient charts were reviewed due to low accrual.
