Personalized Risk-based Follow-up of Cervical Cancer Screening in Practice, RCT

Personalized Risk-based Follow-up of Cervical Cancer Screening in Practice (PREDICT), Randomized Control Trial

Sponsor

Massachusetts General Hospital

Enrollment

7,500 participants

Start Date

Jul 22, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Cervical Cancer Screening

Summary

The goal of this PREDICT is to assess a personalize approach to screening and management of cervical cancer testing. The investigators will evaluate patients who are due for a follow up cervical cancer screening in the primary care clinics in the Massachusetts General Brigham system. Patients will be randomized by clinic into three different arms (Arm 1: standard care, Arm 2: visit based reminders, Arm 3: visit based reminders and population health outreach)

Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying Population outreach and Visit-based IT reminders to patients and practitioners for people with cervical cancer screening. The study is currently recruiting participants at 1 location. People eligible for this study include women aged 21 Years to 70 Years.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

OTHERVisit-based IT reminders to patients and practitioners

To identify patients due for CCSM, simplify test ordering/referral, and track follow-up, PREDICT will include: 1) automated updating of a patient's problem list with the current cervical screening finding, 2) automated updating of cervical cancer health maintenance topics to the appropriate time interval and follow-up test/ procedure through the use of modifiers, 3) "SmartSets" to standardize ordering of procedures/ specialty referrals.

OTHERPopulation outreach

Patients will be sent a reminder letter 90 days prior to the due date via the patient portal or mailed if no portal account (Outreach 1). If needed, four weeks later a phone call from the outreach coordinator reminds patients of the follow-up date if scheduled or helps establish follow-up (Outreach 2). The coordinator could also place an order for a referral and send a reminder to the practitioner to sign it if appropriate. The coordinator will review and document any "alternative care plans" discussed by the PCP and patient.
