Lung Cancer Screening Before and After a Multifaceted Electronic Health Record Intervention: A Nonrandomized Controlled Trial

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38848065/ Lung cancer screening rates increased due to a multifaceted intervention, which included clinician reminders, shared decision-making tools and patient reminders, according to a new AHRQ-funded study published in JAMA Network Open. In a study of older patients in the Salt Lake City area with smoking history, the intervention improved lung cancer screening from 15.9 percent to 46.9 percent. The researchers noted that their findings highlight the effectiveness of structured interventions in improving early detection of and outcomes for lung cancer.
