The role of this observational study is to access the feasibility of providing lung cancer screening using a designated nurse navigator through lung cancer screening clinic. Eligible participants will be identified using medical records, eligibility will be confirmed through phone call, screening visits will be scheduled as in-person visit or telehealth visit. Computed tomography screening will be performed at an approved center closer to the individuals place of living and results will be discussed during follow-up in-person visit or telehealth visit.
The long-term goal is to establish healthcare practices to increase adherence to lung cancer screening among high-risk individuals. The overall objective in this application is to establish a lung cancer screening initiative to proactively identify and screen eligible patients for LDCT using a designated nurse practitioner (NP) along with telehealth. The central hypothesis is that use of a designated NP along with telehealth will increase lung cancer screening via LDCT among high-risk, racial/ethnic minority, and rural/sub-urban patients. The rationale for this proposal is use of a NP and tele…
