Managing Your Lung Cancer Screening Program:

Resources to plan, build, launch and manage your LC Screening program are included on this page. The resources describe developing the multidisciplinary approach and required elements of quality LC Screening programs.

We encourage you to develop a team-based approach to LC Screening program and assess the environment’s culture to make successful changes in the program.

Sites who access and implement the Resource Library are encouraged to utilize it as a quality improvement guide using the Quality Implementation of Lung Cancer Screening Measure (QUILS) Index as a reference.
