About this study

Official title: Cost Effectiveness of Two Different Implementation Procedures to Change Clinicians Practice Roles in the Detection of Hereditary Colorectal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare two different strategies to implement a new method to identify patients with HNPCC, which appeared cost-effective and feasible. The effectiveness, costs and feasibility of both of the implementation strategies will be assessed.

Read the detailed description

The Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre developed a new method to identify patients with HNPCC. This method appeared cost-effective and feasible. Using this new method 70% of the HNPCC patients will be identified as compared to less than 30% when the current method is used. However, this new method does not implement itself; large gaps exists between best evidence and daily practice. This study will compare an intensive strategy, consisting of distribution of educational materials, education, feedback and reminders, with a minimal strategy, only consisting of distribution of a critical care pathway. The aim is to find the most cost-effective strategy to implement the new method to identify patients with HNPCC in the Netherlands.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy of inclusion of eligible CRC-patients for MSI testing by pathologists.

  2. Efficacy of referral of patients who are MSI positive to a clinical geneticist by surgeons.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Experiences with and acceptance of changed physician practice roles by patients and clinicians.

  2. Cost efficacy of the implementation procedures.
