A Pragmatic Randomized-Controlled Learning Health System Trial
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
To evaluate the real-world effectiveness and implementation strategies for mPATH-Lung, investigators propose a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial across an academic Learning Health System. The trial will contrast several approaches to participant outreach and will specifically target engaging fully powered cohorts of racial/ethnic minorities and rural residents.
Description
Primary Objective: Evaluate the real-world effectiveness of mPATH-Lung in increasing lung cancer screening rates across diverse populations. Secondary Objectives * Compare the differential effectiveness of three outreach strategies for engaging participants with mPATH-Lung across vulnerable rural or ethnic/racial minority population subgroups. * Estimate the additional revenue generated by mPATH-Lung through increased screening and downstream care. * Evaluate the potential for over-screening and the impact of applying HEDIS-based exclusion criteria
