Development and validation of trigger algorithms to identify delays in diagnostic evaluation of gastroenterological cancer.
This study’s authors developed, refined, and tested trigger algorithms that identify patients with delayed follow-up evaluation of findings suspicious of colorectal cancer (CRC) or hepatocellular cancer (HCC). Using data from the Veterans Affairs electronic health record database, the researchers developed an algorithm that greatly reduces the number of record reviews necessary to identify delays in follow-up evaluations for patients with suspected CRC or HCC.
