Provider Prompt & Patient Outreach and Education
To target lack of provider-prompted discussion about lung screening, an electronic medical record (EMR) message will be sent to primary care providers prior to scheduled visits with screening-eligible patients to notify them of the patient's eligibility and to encourage discussion of the benefits and limitations of the test. To target patient-level knowledge about lung screening, an outreach specialist will educate screening-eligible patients about the benefits and limitations of the test prior to their visit.
