Pdf Summary
This study aimed to increase rates of lung cancer screening (LCS) among eligible women by combining patient self-referral with eligibility identification by providers. The researchers created LCS education materials and placed them in mammography suite waiting rooms to encourage self-referral. They also conducted chart reviews of patients scheduled for screening mammography to identify those eligible for LCS. So far, 110 patients have been identified for potential LCS enrollment, with 32 deemed eligible. These eligible participants were referred for shared decision-making visits with providers to discuss the risks and benefits of LCS before undergoing low dose computerized tomography scans. Of the eligible patients who completed LCS, 18.2% had screen-detected nodules that required further investigation. Post-screening surveys showed that participants rated their shared decision-making visits as very helpful, and 67% said it was very likely they would seek simultaneous breast and LCS in the future. While informational materials were rated favorably, the rate of self-referral alone was 0%. The combined rates of eligible patient loss to follow-up and refusal were 15.4%. Overall, the study demonstrated that patients were unlikely to self-refer for LCS, but were responsive when identified for LCS during mammography screening. This intervention shows potential for improving LCS rates among high-risk women.
