First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a toolkit that combines electronic health record tools with practice redesign strategies can increase the use of Medicare annual wellness visits and preventive services like cancer screenings and vaccines. Researchers are rolling out the toolkit in 16 primary care practices across the U.S. and tracking outcomes in over 13,000 patients aged 50 and older with Medicare. The goal is to see if this approach helps more people get the preventive care they need.
