IMPORTANCE As the clinic day progresses, clinicians may fall behind schedule and experience decision fatigue. However, the association of time of day with cancer screening rates is unknown.OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of primary care clinic appointment time with clinician ordering and patient completion of breast and colorectal cancer screening.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective, quality improvement study of 33 primary care practices in Pennsylvania and New Jersey from September 1, 2014, to August 31, 2016. Participants included adults eligible for breast or colorectal cancer screening. Data analysis was conducted from April 24, 2018, to November 8, 2018.EXPOSURES Clinic appointment time during each patient's first primary care physician visit in the study period.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary outcome was clinician ordering of the screening test during the visit. Secondary outcome was patient completion of the tests within 1 year of the visit.RESULTS Among the 19 254 patients eligible for breast cancer screening, the mean (SD) age was 60.2 (6.9) years; 19 254 (100%) were female, 11 682 (60.7%) were white, and 5495 (28.5%) were black. Screening test order rates were highest at 8 AM at 63.7%, decreased throughout the morning to 48.7% at 11 AM, increased to 56.2% at noon, and then decreased to 47.8% at 5 PM (adjusted odds ratio [ OR] for overall trend, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.93-0.96; P
