Colorectal Cancer Screening Project | 2023-1st Session Panel Discussion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses barriers to follow-up colonoscopy and perspectives that are missing from the literature. Dr. Asaka mentions that family members and community perspectives are often overlooked in studies evaluating barriers to follow-up colonoscopy. There is also a discussion about the payer perspective and whether they would care about quality metrics. The panel agrees that payers are interested in getting their members screened for colorectal cancer, but there are still gaps in the system that need to be addressed. One challenge mentioned is the lack of awareness among patients that follow-up colonoscopy post a positive stool-based test is covered without cost-sharing. The panel suggests that better dissemination of this information is needed for both patients and providers. Other challenges mentioned include coding issues, referrals, and the need for follow-up education and support for patients. Overall, the panel agrees that a national, regional, and local approach is needed to address these barriers and improve follow-up colonoscopy rates.
