Colorectal cancer screening rates at community health centers that use electronic health records: a cross sectional study.
This study sought to validate use of electronic health record (EHR) data for measuring colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates at community health centers (CHCs). It found that at participating CHCs, CRC screening rates ranged from 9.7 percent to 67.2 percent and adherence to annual fecal occult blood tests ranged from 3.3 percent to 59.0 percent. Most screening was done by colonoscopy.
