Colon Cancer Screening and Follow-Up in a Safety Net Population (Harris County Health System)

LBJ Gastroenterology, Resident Research Assistant, Dr. Scott Larson

This quality improvement project is focused on reducing the time between positive fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) obtained for
colon cancer screening and subsequent colonoscopy. My work has involved Epic medical record review of cases where a positive FIT
resulted in colonoscopy, collecting data regarding time gaps, colonoscopy outcomes, and patient comorbidities and demographics. The secondary goal of this project is to build a database to analyze other factors that may influence screening and subsequent follow-up.

Development of a Primary Care Curriculum

McGovern Medical School: Med-Peds Residency, Resident Research Assistant, Dr. Mark Farnie
The goal of this quality improvement project is to establish a primary and preventive care curriculum for the med-peds residency. We
assessed residents’ comfort with topics using in-training exam (ITE) scores and a pre-intervention survey. Our intervention was monthly
conferences with resident and faculty-led lectures focusing on primary care topics. We are now planning to collect a repeat survey to
assess changes in resident opinions. Based on this information and changes in ITE scores, we will make appropriate changes in our
curriculum.
