Improving Comprehensive Cancer Screening Among Vulnerable Patients Using Patient Navigation as Part of a Population-Based Health IT System: A Randomized Control Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Patient Navigation for Patient Compliance. Completed, enrolled 1,612 participants.
Detailed Summary
Patient navigation (PN) has been shown to improve rates of cancer screening in vulnerable populations. Most cancer PN programs are located in community health centers and focus on a single cancer. The investigators will evaluate the impact of PN program on breast, cervical, and/or colorectal cancer screening in vulnerable patients receiving care in a large, academic, primary care network using a population-based IT system.
