Text messaging women after initial breast cancer screening outreach via either electronic portal or mailings, as well as bulk ordering with or without text messaging, can increase mammogram completion rates, findings show. @shivan_mehta @pennmedicine ja.ma/4a5Mhi9

The disease is now the leading cause of cancer death among men under 50, and second among women of the same age range. But catching it early greatly increases chances of survival

Great results from this opt-out cancer screening intervention from our Population Health LabL screenings for liver cancer jumped from 28% to 54% when researchers mailed an opt-out ultrasound order. Adding a $20 gift card had no effect. @Shivan_Mehta @asset25 @caitline_09

Patients with #cirrhosis are especially vulnerable to #livercancer. A new @PM_Innovation study in @HepCommJournal found that mailing screening orders directly to patients with this condition nearly doubled cancer screening rates. spr.ly/6013RXe1l

Many women remain overdue for their mammograms even when they receive an order from their doctor. But a “nudge” that prompts patients to schedule their own screenings that was studied by @PM_Innovation resulted in significant change. spr.ly/6012ROj7A

Replying to @CassSunstein @kevin_volpp
CHIBE's @Shivan_Mehta has been doing a lot of interesting work in this space (not exactly with scheduling colonoscopies), but he did find that mailing at-home test kits to patients increased screening compliance tenfold. inquirer.com/health/colonosc…

Colonoscopy isn’t the only way to screen for colon cancer. Here are your options.

At-home tests such as the Cologuard DNA test, and the much less expensive FIT tests are good alternatives for many people, but not everyone.

Although remote monitoring and $$ incentives have improved adherence & health outcomes in prior studies, these interventions did not lower hospital readmissions and deaths among heart failure patients in a recent RCT. Details published in @JAMAInternalMed pennmed1.org/3KXZ2yH

Remote Monitoring and Behavioral Economics in Managing Heart Failure in Patients

This randomized clinical trial examines the use of remote monitoring of weight and adherence to diuretic therapy in patients with heart failure after hospital discharge.

An EHR optimization that made HCV screening a default order mitigated clinician burden and significantly increased screening rates.

Two new articles out from @PhillyInquirer featuring @Shivan_Mehta: "Colonoscopies save lives, but many Americans don’t get one. Home tests could help change that." pennmed1.org/3hSuVN7 & "Colonoscopy isn’t the only way to screen for colon cancer" pennmed1.org/3CsQ1uY

Colon cancer is among the few cancers that are preventable with routine screening. But many Americans are skipping colonoscopies. Cases are rising among adults under age 50 who aren’t being routinely screened. trib.al/hFInY3t

Colonoscopies save lives, but many Americans don’t get one. Home tests could help change that.

Screening colonoscopies are covered by insurance, but can cost thousands of dollars for people who are uninsured. There's another way to get screened that's much less expensive.
