Sample Risk Assessment Screening Algorithm
These screening algorithms include recommended screening options for the average-risk and high-risk patient and provide a sample starter policy for your practice.

Two samples are provided for practices considering either the USPSTF screening recommendations or the 2018 American Cancer Society Colorectal Cancer Screening Guideline.
