Impact of a clinical decision support system on guideline adherence of surveillance recommendations for colonoscopy after polypectomy.
The goal of this study was to characterize guideline adherence of surveillance recommendations after implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR)-based Colonoscopy Pathology Reporting and Clinical Decision Support System (CoRS). Results showed that an EMR-based CoRS was widely used and significantly improved guideline adherence of surveillance recommendations.

Effect of colonoscopy outreach vs fecal immunochemical test outreach on colorectal cancer screening completion: a randomized clinical trial.
Researchers compared the effectiveness of fecal immunochemical test (FIT) outreach and colonoscopy outreach to increase completion of the colorectal cancer (CRC) screening process (screening initiation and follow-up) within 3 years. Among persons aged 50 to 64 years receiving primary care at a safety-net institution, mailed outreach invitations offering FIT or colonoscopy compared with usual care increased the proportion completing CRC screening process within 3 years.

Association between primary care visits and colorectal cancer screening outcomes in the era of population health outreach.
The researchers assessed associations between primary care provider (PCP) visits and receipt of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and colonoscopy after a positive fecal immunochemical (FIT) or fecal occult blood test (FOBT). They found that patients with a greater number of PCP visits had higher rates of both incident CRC screening and colonoscopy after positive FIT/FOBT, even in health systems with active population health outreach programs.

Predictors of guideline concordance for surveillance colonoscopy recommendations in patients at a safety-net health system.
The aim of this study was to quantify and identify predictors for guideline-concordant surveillance recommendations after adenoma polypectomy. It found that underuse recommendations were more likely in patients with C3 adenomas; overuse recommendations were more likely in patients with high-grade dysplasia or fair prep quality and less likely in those with piecemeal resection, C3 adenomas, age>65, or Hispanic ethnicity.
