Health IT-assisted population-based preventive cancer screening: a cost analysis.
The researchers analyzed costs from a randomized trial of 2 health IT strategies to improve cancer screening compared with usual care from the perspective of a primary care network. They found that over the course of the study year, the value of reduced physician time devoted to preventive cancer screening outweighed the costs of the interventions.
