Lung Cancer Screening
Conditions
Brief summary
This clinical trial studies statewide optimization of lung cancer screening (LCS) in Kentucky using the Quality Implementation of Lung Screening (QUILS™) System. Data from the Kentucky Cancer Registry shows that LCS implementation has contributed to a rapid decline in late-stage lung cancer diagnosis at twice the national average. Further, the declines are more than three times the national average decline in Kentucky's Central Appalachian region. Kentucky-based multilevel initiatives are needed to expand and accelerate this leading role and extend the LCS opportunity to more Kentuckians who are at increased risk of lung cancer. This trial may be able to accelerate optimal high-quality implementation of LCS utilizing the QUILS™ System and reduce the burden of lung cancer by assisting lung cancer screening programs located throughout Kentucky in implementing best practices in lung cancer screening by integrating the QUILS™ System domains and elements into their screening programs.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Quality Improvement Lung Cancer Screening (QUILS) Index Assessment Score | Baseline and Month 9 | The QUILS Index Assessment is a program-level measure of lung cancer screening implementation quality. Scores range from 0 to 95, with a higher score indicating higher quality implementation of lung cancer screening practices. The outcome measure is the change in total QUILS Index score from Baseline to 12 months. |
