Abstract
INTRODUCTION:Failure to document colonoscopy follow-up needs postpolypectomy can lead to delayed detection of colorectal cancer (CRC). Automating the update of a unified follow-up date in the electronic health record (EHR) may increase the number of patients with guideline-concordant CRC follow-up screening. METHODS:Prospective pre-post design study of an automated rules engine-based tool using colonoscopy pathology results to automate updates to documented CRC screening due dates was performed as an operational initiative, deployed enterprise-wide May 2023. Participants were aged 45-75 years who received a colonoscopy November 2022 to November 2023. Primary outcome measure is rate of updates to screening due dates and proportion with recommended follow-up < 10 years. Multivariable log-binomial regression was performed (relative risk, 95% confidence intervals). RESULTS:Study population included 9,824 standard care and 19,340 intervention patients. Patients had a mean age of 58.6 +/- 8.6 years and were 53.4% female, 69.6% non-Hispanic White, 13.5% non-Hispanic Black, 6.5% Asian, and 4.6% Hispanic. Postintervention, 46.7% of follow-up recommendations were updated by the rules engine. The proportion of patients with a 10-year default follow-up frequency significantly decreased (88.7%-42.8%, P < 0.001). The mean follow-up frequency decreased by 1.9 years (9.3-7.4 years, P < 0.001). Overall likelihood of an updated follow-up date significantly increased (relative risk 5.62, 95% confidence intervals: 5.30-5.95, P < 0.001). DISCUSSION:An automated rules engine-based tool has the potential to increase the accuracy of colonoscopy follow-up dates recorded in patient EHR. The results emphasize the opportunity for more automated and integrated solutions for updating and maintaining EHR health maintenance activities.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
