Implementation of lung cancer screening in primary care and pulmonary clinics: pragmatic clinical trial of electronic health record-integrated everyday shared decision-making tool and clinician-facing prompts.
The authors conducted pre- and post-intervention analysis in primary care and pulmonary clinics to explore whether clinician-facing electronic health record (EHR) prompts and an EHR-integrated shared decision-making (SDM) tool designed to support incorporation of SDM into primary care could improve low-dose computer tomography scan imaging ordering and completion. Subjects were patients who met US Preventive Services Task Force criteria for lung cancer screening (LCS). The results indicated that EHR prompts and the EHR-integrated SDM tool were promising approaches to improving LCS in the primary care setting. The authors noted that further research is warranted.

Use of an online breast cancer risk assessment and patient decision aid in primary care practices.
A cross-sectional study evaluating a web-based breast cancer risk assessment and decision aid (MammoScreen) was conducted in an academic general internal medicine clinic. Breast cancer risk assessment and mammography screening decision support were efficiently implemented through a web-based tool for patients sent through an electronic patient portal. Findings indicated that integration of patient decision aids with risk algorithms in clinical practice may help support the implementation of USPSTF recommendations that include risk assessment and shared decision-making.
