More than 10,000 American lives have been saved since lung cancer screening was introduced in 2013 for high-risk people who are over 55 and have a history of smoking. Recently updated U.S. Preventive Services Task Force lung cancer screening guidelines, which lower the high-risk screening age to 50, expand screening eligibility for an additional 6.5 million Americans, with the greatest increases in eligibility occurring among women and racial minorities. History of lung cancer screening recommendations, barriers to screening, review of national, state and county data, are reviewed; as well as best practices for patient communication  and available lung cancer resources.
 
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, learners will be able to:
  • Understand the evidence behind and the importance of Lung Cancer Screening in the high risk patient
  • Describe new eligibility guidelines for lung cancer screening per 0-2/2022 CMS Decision Memo
  • List three barriers to lung cancer screening
  • Implement best practices for interactions with patients.
