Lung Cancer Screening Implementation Forum: How to create a successful and effective lung cancer screening program at your healthcare facility is a program designed for healthcare organization administrators, insurers, and physicians to coordinate implementation efforts by using local and national stakeholders, regional political insight, program evaluation, and effective communication techniques.
Speakers from a variety of fields will present current information regarding the best practices surround lung cancer screening, featured in the American Lung Association’s Lung Cancer Screening Guide. Lung cancer screening (LCS) is a debated topic that encompasses multiple levels of care, access to screening centers, and insurance barriers. The goal of this forum is to educate and collaborate across disciplines to ensure all Pennsylvanians have the knowledge and resources to access affordable LCS.
Through physician and provider education, policy modifications, and healthcare systems change, LCS implementation can become common practice across the commonwealth. Lung cancer advocacy in Pennsylvania has historically used legislative visits and media to educate policy makers on the benefits of best screening practices.
By participating in the Lung Cancer Screening Implementation Forum: How to create a successful and effective lung cancer screening program at your healthcare facility, you will learn the following objectives:
- Identify the major barriers to lung cancer screening in Pennsylvania
- Review recommendations to address these barriers and increase primary care provider referrals for lung cancer screening
- Discuss best practices surrounding lung cancer screening implementation to develop a model to assist healthcare organizations in Pennsylvania to better serve the at-risk populations
- Establish a statewide approach using the American Lung Association and the American Thoracic Society Lung Cancer Screening Implementation Guide to increase access to screening facilities and the number of at-risk Pennsylvanians screened
- Determine necessary steps to incorporate tobacco cessation, health education, and other tobacco-related resources into existing care practices
