Abstract
The American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable strategic plan for provider engagement and outreach addresses barriers to the uptake of lung cancer screening, including lack of provider awareness and guideline knowledge about screening, concerns about potential harms from false‐positive examinations, lack of time to implement workflows within busy primary care practices, insufficient infrastructure and administrative support to manage a screening program and patient follow‐up, and implicit bias based on sex, race/ethnicity, social class, and smoking status. Strategies to facilitate screening include educational programming, clinical reminder systems within the electronic medical record, decision support aids, and tools to track nodules that can be implemented across a diversity of practices and health care organizational structures. Plain language summary The American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable strategic plan to reduce deaths from lung cancer includes strategies designed to support health care professionals, to better understand lung cancer screening, and to support adults who are eligible for lung cancer screening by providing counseling, referral, and follow‐up.
The American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable (ACS NLCRT) strategic plan includes an emphasis on provider engagement and outreach to address challenges in identifying and counseling patients at‐risk for lung cancer, referrals to screening, follow‐up, diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and overcoming bias based on sex, race/ethnicity, social class, and smoking status. In this contribution to the ACS NLCRT strategic plan, the Provider Engagement and Outreach Task Group provide strategies to support providers in referring appropriate individuals for lung cancer screening.
