- W4308620121 abstract "Abstract Introduction/Objective It has been documented in the literature that significant ethnic and racial disparities in access to healthcare exist. Additionally, it has also been shown that these disparities can be corrected. Integrated health care systems such as the Veterans’ Administration health care system have previously been demonstrated to lead to more equitable care delivery and improved outcomes with lower racial and ethnic differences in access to care. Standard of care guidelines issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) exist recommending screening for colorectal cancer in adults, of which one of the screening methods involves the convenient fecal immunochemical test (FIT). FIT is a noninvasive simple screening test compared to alternatives such as colonoscopy. Given FIT’s benefits, the authors explored the accessibility by ethnicity for this important test at a Veteran Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). Methods/Case Report A search of all FIT testing performed at a regional VAMC from 10/1/2018 to 6/4/2022 was performed to determine the patient demographics including age, gender, and ethnicity. The ethnic distribution of all tested patients was compared to the local census population demographics of the county (Philadelphia) in which the VAMC is located (updated July 1, 2021). Results (if a Case Study enter NA) There were a total of 10,110 FIT tests conducted during the study period. From these 10,110 FIT tests, the ethnic composition of the test population is as follows: 5,164 or 51% (5,164/10,110) were African American, 4,389 or 43% (4,389/10,110) were Caucasian American, 65 or 0.6% (65/10,110) were Asian American, 48 or 0.5% were American Indian or Alaska Native American, 111 or 1% (111/10,110) were Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander Americans, and 333 or 3.2% (333/10,110) were unknown or declined to state in the medical record. Per the local county census, 44.8% of the local population was Caucasian American and 43.6% were African American. Conclusion The VAMC, being an integrated health care system, provides equitable access to FIT to screen for colorectal cancer." @default.
