Article Synopsis
- The study explored how an organized colorectal cancer screening program using mailed fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) could improve outreach and effectiveness in a large academic-community setting.
- The program was designed with input from leadership, incorporating a structured approach that identified target populations, implementation teams, and quality assurance measures while ensuring patients received proper follow-up care.
- In its first year, the program successfully identified nearly 10,000 eligible patients, achieving a 32% screening completion rate via tests or colonoscopy, suggesting that organized programs can enhance cancer detection efforts.
