Recent guidelines have recommended further research to improve access, uptake and return of FIT. This systematic scoping review aims to understand the barriers and facilitators to FIT testing in symptomatic patients.MethodQualitative, quantitative and mixed‐methods studies published after September 2013 were included. MEDLINE, EMBASE and PsycINFO databases were searched to identify publications examining barriers and facilitators to FIT. Initially, the data underwent thematic analysis, and subsequently, factors were aligned to components of the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behaviour model. All outcomes are presented in adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines.ResultsOne thousand two hundred thirty‐two papers were identified; 11 met the inclusion criteria. Barriers and facilitators were identified at the patient (e.g., knowledge), provider (e.g., general practitioner awareness) and service level (e.g., method of providing FIT kits). Factors were categorised into the subcomponents of the model: psychological capability (e.g., lack of FIT knowledge), reflective motivation (e.g., beliefs regarding FIT sampling and faeces being unhygienic) and automatic motivation (e.g., embarrassment, scary, anxiety provoking). Gaps in knowledge emerged in three domains: (1) patient experience, (2) FIT pathway and (3) healthcare professionals experience of FIT.ConclusionThis systematic scoping review provides a summary of the literature on FIT uptake, and identified factors across multiple levels and components. To increase adherence to FIT completion within primary care, a multifaceted theory and evidence‐based approach is needed to underpin future behavioural science interventions.","PeriodicalId":15997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evaluation in clinical practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the development of ICPs is challenging and must be well designed to provide the expected benefits. Regarding this, healthcare organisations are increasingly adopting management systems based on Lean Thinking to improve their organisational processes by eliminating non‐value‐added steps. This study elucidates the process and evaluates the impact of applying Lean Thinking to redesign an ICP for patients with spondyloarthritis, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting young adults.MethodsA multidisciplinary team was assembled and trained in Lean Thinking. Patient's perspective was gathered through a focus group. Guided by an expert methodologist, the team constructed a value stream map of the entire care pathway and analysed each step. Five work streams were defined to increase value at each step, leading to targeted process improvements. Key process and outcome metrics were collected and compared in 2‐month baseline and post‐implementation audits.ResultsA total of 118 patients were included in the baseline audit (September–October 2022), and 116 in the post‐implementation audit (January–February 2023). Process redesign resulted in statistically significant improvements (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.05), including a reduction in the mean number of hospital visits per patient over a 2‐month period from 2.54 (SD = 0.93) to 1.84 (SD = 0.79), an increase in complementary exams scheduled on the same day (81.4% to 94.8%) and an increase in baseline disease and treatment education (from 22.2% to 84.2% and from 18.2% to 84.6%, respectively). Regarding standardisation of clinical practice, there were significant increases in collecting data for medical records on composite activity indices (76.3% to 95.7%), reporting of pharmacological treatment adherence (68.6% to 94%) and providing nonpharmacological recommendations (31.3% to 95.7%).ConclusionsThe application of Lean Thinking to redesign the spondyloarthritis ICP led to significant improvements in outpatient appointment scheduling, reduced patient hospital visits, improved interdepartmental coordination and standardised clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":15997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evaluation in clinical practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These choices, however, are not confined to health emergencies but are integral to public health decisions, which inherently grapple with limited resources. In this context, physicians play a pivotal role as the architects of clinical actions in various scenarios. Therefore, doctors are called upon to make their decisions by considering not only the criteria of clinical appropriateness but also the ethical aspects linked, in particular, to the principle of justice.
