Brief Summary
Approximately 40% of members with a positive fecal occult blood result do not continue to followup colonoscopy in Meuhedet. The purpose of this study is to identify the structural, process, carer and patient related causes of undertreatment and suggest appropriate organisational interventions. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the investigators will identify organisational and personal barriers to completion of followup of positive FOBT.
