Study Finds Patient Navigation Program Increases Lung Cancer Screening

Study Finds Patient Navigation Program Increases Lung Cancer Screening A study conducted at an urban community health center found that a lung cancer screening navigation program increased awareness of screening and increased screening rates. This scoping review investigates the landscape of patient navigation programs (pnp) specifically for lung cancer, addressing a gap in existing literature that has predominantly focused on other cancers or chronic diseases and screening.

Boston Patient Navigation Research Program The Impact Of Navigation 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. The investigating navigation to help advance lung equity (inhale) study is a pragmatic randomized controlled trial of patient navigation for lcs among individuals receiving primary care at boston health care for the homeless program (bhchp). The su2c study has created a novel, community engaged approach to lung cancer screening navigation that could become the gold standard in high risk medically underserved populations. This randomized clinical trial examines whether patient navigation improves lung cancer screening completion among people experiencing homelessness.

Patient Navigation For Lung Cancer An Essential Component Of Care The su2c study has created a novel, community engaged approach to lung cancer screening navigation that could become the gold standard in high risk medically underserved populations. This randomized clinical trial examines whether patient navigation improves lung cancer screening completion among people experiencing homelessness. This study determined the effectiveness of patient navigation to engage patients in an urban health care for the homeless program to complete lung cancer screening. Randomized controlled trial was conducted from february 2016 to january 2017 to evaluate the impact of a patient navigation program on lung cancer screening (lcs) among current smokers. We conducted a pragmatic randomized controlled trial of telephone based navigation for lcs within an integrated, urban safety net healthcare system (parkland health, dallas, texas). Among current smokers aged 55–77 in community health centers, we demonstrated that those randomly assigned to a patient navigation program had higher rates of lung cancer screening compared to patients receiving usual care.
