Lung cancer screening has become a standard of care as a result of landmark study by the National Lung Screening Trial. At UC Davis Health, it is important that our healthcare providers are familiar with and utilize the UCDH approach to lung cancer screening. Lung cancer screening results in early detection of lung cancer, and in turn results in reducing lung cancer mortality. It is important to be aware of the CMS requirements for face-to-face shared decision-making and smoking cessation counseling for patients undergoing lung cancer screening. This activity will inform participants of the resources and processes for lung cancer screening at UC Davis Health.

Needs Assessment:
Many healthcare professionals may not be familiar with UC Davis Health’s approach to Lung Cancer Screening, which is based on the  US Preventative Services Task Force Recommendations.
