Colorectal Cancer Screening Preventive Reminder Ordering AssistanCe Via Texting for Improved Visit Encounters
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. A substantial portion of the United States population remains overdue for screening, despite availability and insurance coverage of preventive health services. Barriers for completion and remaining up to date with screening include patients not remaining actively engaged with their care team, time constraints during office visits, and operational strain. This project aims to implement and evaluate a primary care visit-based outreach program that improves patient follow through on completion of overdue CRC screening. This will be a 6 month, stepped-wedge, pragmatic trial conducted at Penn Medicine.
