Advance Your Lung Cancer Screening Program Webinar Series

Welcome to the Advance Your Lung Cancer Screening Program Webinar Series. The ACR and the Society of Thoracic Radiology (STR) are pleased to bring thoracic radiologists, other lung cancer screening clinicians, and administrative personnel together for this three-part webinar series about tools designed to enhance your screening program’s quality assurance and quality improvement efforts. Learn about:

  • Changes to the ACR Lung-RADS® v2022 and the rationale for these updates along with a case-based demonstration of their application.

  • Recent enhancements to the Lung Cancer Screening Registry (LCSR) that enable LCS programs to track new key performance indicators such as adherence of your patients to annual screening.

  • The newly launched tools and resources supporting performance improvement initiatives using your LCSR data.

1. Introduction and Materials

Learn about new performance improvement tools and resources that provide a step-by-step approach for using your Lung Cancer Screening Registry (LCSR) data to advance your lung cancer screening program and improve patient care. A panel of radiologists will highlight the key performance indicators that provide significant opportunity for demonstrating improvement to departmental and institutional leaders. The presenters will delve into the new resources available, e.g., new registry reports and templates, that support pursuing a performance improvement initiative.

2. Learning Objectives

After attending this webinar, the participant should be better able to:

  1. Describe adherence to annual screening, radiation dose, and non-smoking measures in the Lung Cancer Screening Registry (LCSR) and their importance to clinical practice.

  2. Explain the Plan-Do-Study-Act improvement process and how to use the LCSR resources in each stage.

  3. Analyze LCSR data using provided reports to identify and address performance gaps.
