Improving Fecal Immunochemical Testing Rates for Colon Cancer Screening in the Outpatient Setting.
CONCLUSIONS: The compliance rate for FIT completion and return more than doubled among our clinic patients after using a three-component QI intervention. Except for a difference in race, the lack of association between demographic and clinical characteristics with either pre-I/post-I group or return/no return of the FIT card leads us to conclude that our QI program for increasing FIT compliance is effective. Other settings where CRC screening is a prominent component of preventive care may benefit from adopting a similar QI intervention.
