Increasing cancer screening rates, especially for more vulnerable individuals, is essential. While these screenings are inadvisable to conduct during an unrelated inpatient stay, recent studies show that hospitalists could play a role in identifying at-risk patients. In this study, hospitalists and radiologists coordinate to steer at-risk patients to lung cancer screenings. This can be done using available data during hospitalization and without compromising the more urgent care issues. As the surveyed hospitalists suggest, providing dedicated teams to address potential screenings could be a valuable addition to hospitals and an asset to patients, while allowing physicians to focus on hospital duties.

How can participation in lung cancer screening be improved? A recent article in NEJM Catalyst Innovations in Care Delivery showcases the results of an American pilot programme that utilised telehealth visits with nurses trained in lung cancer screening to boost screening participation rates. One of the key challenges in the US is increasing the uptake of lung cancer screening invitations. So the pilot programme offered people telehealth visits, with a focus on reviewing eligibility for, and accessing, lung cancer screening opportunities. More than half of people enrolled on the programme went on to complete screening – a significant increase from national participation levels, which can be as low as 5% in some locations. The pilot, which represents just one approach to increasing the uptake of invitations, provided insights into ensuring that everyone who is eligible benefits from lung cancer screenings.

As a population, 1 in 2 of us will receive a #cancer diagnosis. The other 50% will be their carers. The emotional, physiological, psychological and financial impact of cancer makes it a diagnosis like no other. Cancer profoundly affects the future for an individual, a family, the workplace and employer, the community and for society itself. Yet, at LEAST 4 in 10 cancers are preventable with lifestyle and health behaviour change. Primary prevention, underpinned by skilled #healthcoaching MUST be a priority.

The Annalise.ai chest X-ray clinical support tool will now be introduced in six of England’s imaging networks. 🎯 This represents a third of all chest X-rays performed in England. ➡ The Annalise.ai solution can improve earlier diagnosis of lung cancer and treatment outcomes. The incredible part is that it's just not restricted to lung cancer detection. ➡ The technology supports clinicians in accurately diagnosing conditions such as sepsis at speed through a chest X-ray. ➡ Chest X-rays can provide useful information regarding the possibility of infections such as pneumonia or empyema, as well as rule out conditions such as pulmonary edema. ➡ Or clinicians may use it to segregate the remarkable scans from unremarkable ones. ➡ It's also useful for detecting the position of NG tubes, reducing the chances of never events. https://lnkd.in/gY_Rsvhd
