This study seeks to determine whether a patient navigator can help improve follow up care
after a stool test shows the presence of blood or other abnormal markers.
after a stool test shows the presence of blood or other abnormal markers.
Participants who recently had a stool test that had abnormal results will be asked to
participate in this study in order to determine whether the use of a navigator can increase
the use of colonoscopy, which is the recommended follow up to an abnormal stool test. A
navigator is an individual trained to help patients access necessary health care services and
understand the test results and next steps. Participants will be asked to meet the navigator
at their colonoscopy appointment and discuss any problems that are experienced in getting the
colonoscopy done. This will take about 10 minutes to complete. Participants will tell him or
her in their own words how the experience was and whether they faced any barriers to
scheduling and colonoscopy completion. Study personnel will also look at participants'
electronic medical record to see what testing participants had done that prompted the need
for colonoscopy.The study will include about 30 people.
