Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to see if a structured telephone reminder system could boost the completion rates of fecal immunochemical tests (FITs).
- Patients who got a reminder call after 14 days had a significantly higher rate of returning their FITs compared to those who didn't receive a reminder.
- The findings suggest that telephone reminders are an effective strategy for improving FIT return rates, although automated tracking missed many of the returned tests.
