Automated Navigation to Improve Outpatient Colonoscopy Adherence

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Adherence, Patient, Colonoscopy, Text Messaging

In brief

Outpatient colonoscopy adherence is negatively impacted by poor communication and challenges with bowel preparation. We plan to perform a randomized controlled trial at the Pennsylvania Presbyterian Medical Center to (1) provide text message-based educational and reminder messages to patients regarding a scheduled colonoscopy, and (2) evaluate the impact of the texting intervention on colonoscopy show rate and bowel preparation.
