Colorectal Cancer Simplified

We have designed and tested an algorithm that can be implemented across various platforms including the web or as a native smartphone app that will assist clinicians in recommending guideline-concordant colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and surveillance intervals. Through a series of questions that can be posed to the patient and/or gleaned from the patient’s medical record, a clinician will be able to convey and act on evidence-based recommendations for CRC. As CRC recommendations apply to the general population, this solution is targeted for clinicians including primary care physicians, gastroenterologist, NPs, PAs, as well as medical and surgical trainees in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. Further validating the algorithm by comparing interval recommendations to actual patient encounters with gastroenterologists at the Cleveland Clinic. Thad Meese meeset@ccf.org 216-445-9046
