Effect of Patient Navigation on Completion of Lung Cancer Screening in Vulnerable Populations

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, lack of order placement was a key reason for incomplete LCS steps. When orders were placed, patients who received navigation had higher rates of completion. Clinical team education and enhanced electronic health record processes to simplify order placement, coupled with patient navigation, may improve LCS in safety-net health care systems.PMID:38489927 | DOI:10.6004/jnccn.2023.7094
