Book Chapter Description

Building an effective lung cancer screening program is a complex undertaking. Healthcare systems must optimize their workflows and processes to keep up with the growing number of patients eligible for lung cancer screening. The establishment of a successful program requires administrative support, access to a multidisciplinary team of physicians, subspeciality procedural capabilities, radiology equipment and personnel support, a customizable electronic health record, integration of nodule tracking software, establishment of a centralized pulmonary nodule clinic with nursing support, and access to patient education materials. When access to subspecialists is limited, centralization of services to enhance outcomes and facilitate quality improvement must be considered.
