Rideshare ‘potentially scalable intervention’ to improve colonoscopy after abnormal FIT (Healio)

A study in JAMA Network Open found that providing rideshare services for patients with abnormal FIT results could significantly improve colonoscopy completion, reduce colorectal cancer (CRC) cases and deaths, and save costs. Modeling showed that a $100 ride starting at age 45 that doubled completion from 35% to 70% would cut CRC cases by 26.3% and deaths by 32.9%, while saving $330,587 per 1,000 patients.
