PSAzing up patient care: a quality improvement project for informed cancer screening
Templated notes and dot phrases significantly improved SDM documentation, both compared with our clinic baseline rates and compared with recent reported national rates, overall enhancing standardised preventive care in primary care. Although PSA screening rates improved, challenges such as time limitations and patient no-shows impacted the intervention's effectiveness. Future cycles will address these barriers to improve outcomes further.
