Key Points Question Does an electronic patient portal message primer increase the completion rate of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in a mailed fecal immunochemical test (FIT) program? Findings In this randomized clinical quality improvement trial of 2339 patients receiving a mailed FIT, the rate of screening completion was significantly higher in the group that received the electronic message than in the control group (38% vs 32%). Meaning Including an electronic patient portal message primer prior to a mailed FIT is an effective method to increase CRC screening rates in a managed care patient population.
