Abstract

The lung cancer screening program (LCSP) at St. Elizabeth Healthcare (SEHC), a 1,191 bed Northern Kentucky community hospital system, began in 2013. Over 22,000 low-dose CT lung cancer screens have been performed. From 2015 through 3Q 2021, 2,498 lung cancers were diagnosed systemwide. ASPIRED, a Screening Program with Impactful Results from Early Detection, reviews that experience. 325 (13.0%) were diagnosed by screening and 2,173 (87.0%) were non-screened. The non-screened cohort was queried to determine how many additional individuals could have been screened, as per 2015 CMS criteria, identifying barriers and failures to meet eligibility.
