About this trial

\- The investigators propose a clinical trial to evaluate the impact of annual shared decision making for PSA screening, supported by system-level enhancements to promote evidence-based care:

* Defined referral thresholds within the health maintenance reminder, aligned with clinical risk stratification per NCCN guidelines. * Enhanced clinical decision support (CDS) tools to reduce provider variation and ensure guideline-concordant screening and referral practices. * The goal is to reduce late-stage presentation without increasing overdiagnosis-ensuring that prostate cancer screening is both accessible and clinically effective.
