Colorectal Cancer Screening Project | 2023-Breakout Session Reports and Summit Conclusion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a facilitator named Fola May recaps the ideas discussed in each of the breakout groups at a meeting. The groups included doctors and researchers who were tasked with coming up with interventions to increase the follow-up colonoscopy rate for uninsured and underinsured patients. Some key points discussed in the breakout groups include the use of community health care workers and navigators to help patients follow up on positive stool tests, the need for better patient education around colonoscopy and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), the importance of dispelling myths and providing accurate information to patients, and the use of different mediums such as books, websites, and videos for patient education. Other ideas discussed include provider interventions such as better education and communication for providers when delivering abnormal fit results, the use of checklists for providers to ensure necessary steps are taken, and offloading responsibilities to navigators. In addition, policy interventions such as developing quality measures for required colonoscopy after positive stool tests and increasing funding for colorectal cancer prevention and treatment programs were discussed. Partnerships with primary care societies and other organizations were also suggested to help address this complex problem. The video concludes with a discussion about potential next steps, including the publication of a white paper or outcomes paper, ongoing collaboration and support to execute the ideas discussed, and the possibility of future meetings or updates on this topic. No credits were mentioned in the video.
