Patient-Initiated Colonoscopy Scheduling Effectively Increases Colorectal Cancer Screening Adherence

Background and Aim We identified patients without medical record evidence of up-to-date colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and sent an invitation letter to self-schedule a colonoscopy without requiring prior primary care or gastroenterologist consultation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the response rate to the letter and factors associated with colonoscopy completion.
