5-Minute Check In: Cancer Screening Overview
Show Notes

In this 5-minute check in we're reviewing how CommonSpirit has created streamlined preventative screening algorithms for lung, breast, and colon cancer.

Issues addressed include: 
- Updated and simplified guidelines: changes we've made using best available evidence
         - Combining USPSTF and NCCN
         - Why we're shifting from age- to risk-based screening
- Future state: clinical decision support and embedding into the EMR
- Automation: Our focus on making screening more efficient, providing the support to help ensure providers are spending their valuable time in the right places

In the coming weeks, we will do a deep dive into each topic and guidelines.
