Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of death from cancer and one of the most common cause of cancers in men and women in the U.S. and worldwide. The USPSTF now recommends screening for CRC beginning at age 45. Studies have proven that increasing screening rates can significantly prevent new cases and reduce the number of deaths from CRC. Screening programs and outreach interventions have been successful in increasing patient participation rates and subsequently in reducing CRC incidence and mortality. This project aims to collect and utilize public recommendations and experiences to create a standardized communication in the electronic medical record in the form of a dot phrase as a method of intervention that provides express education on the available CRC screening tests to patients as a means of improving screening rate.
