Impact of patient reminders on Papanicolaou test completion for high-risk patients identified by a clinical decision support system.
The researchers aimed to assess the effect of a complex clinical decision support system, incorporating national guidelines for high-risk patient screening and abnormal result management. They found that the average completion rate of recommended follow-up testing was significantly higher in the intervention group at 23.7 percent than the completion rate at 3.3 percent in the control group.
