Improving follow-up colonoscopies for patients with high-risk colorectal polyps
Multilevel health system intervention to increase surveillance colonoscopy for high-risk colorectal polyps
['FUNDING_R01'] · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES · NIH-10833688
This study is working to make sure that patients with high-risk neoplasia get the follow-up colonoscopies they need on time, using helpful reminders and support for both patients and doctors to improve care and prevent colorectal cancer.

What this research studies
This research aims to enhance the follow-up care for patients diagnosed with high-risk neoplasia (HRN) during colonoscopy, which can lead to colorectal cancer if not monitored properly. The project will implement a technology-assisted intervention that identifies HRN patients, reminds them and their healthcare providers when follow-up colonoscopies are due, and helps facilitate these procedures. By addressing barriers such as lack of awareness and healthcare system inefficiencies, the research seeks to improve surveillance rates for this high-risk group. The approach combines patient education, provider support, and systematic tracking to ensure timely follow-up care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals who have been diagnosed with high-risk neoplasia during a screening colonoscopy.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have a history of high-risk neoplasia or those who are not due for follow-up colonoscopy may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer by ensuring that high-risk patients receive timely follow-up colonoscopies.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that technology-assisted interventions can effectively improve follow-up rates in various healthcare settings, suggesting a promising potential for this approach.
