Despite methods to improve early detection only 53% of the eligible population in the United States is current with these guidelines. Letter reminders have been shown effective in improving screening rates. Meanwhile, computers and email usage have increased and even penetrated the field of medicine. This study looks at the effectiveness of using a secure email system linked to electronic health records to send reminders to patients to increase colorectal cancer screening rates. 000000420 540__ $$fCC BY 000000420 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000420 650__ $$aColorectal Neoplasms$$028197 000000420 650__ $$aElectronic Mail$$034597 000000420 650__ $$aHumans$$020376 000000420 650__ $$aReminder Systems$$029614 000000420 650__ $$aMethods$$022159 000000420 650__ $$aEarly Detection of Cancer$$038151 000000420 650__ $$aElectronic Health Records$$038928 000000420 6531_ $$aprevention & control 000000420 6531_ $$arandomized controlled trials$$028836 000000420 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000420 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000000420 7001_ $$aMuller, David$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000420 7201_ $$aLogan, Judith$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000420 8564_ $$935402952-5994-43aa-afb2-ade2d3403938$$s102964$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/420/files/421_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$24f776f83f3997ceb1a27155f6d61918d$$31 000000420 905__ $$a/rest/prod/r4/94/vk/19/r494vk192 000000420 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:420$$pstudent-work 000000420 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
