More than 13,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, and more than 4,000 of women will die. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer for women worldwide, but because it develops over time, it is also one of the most preventable types of cancer.

April 2022: ACR announces new version 1.6 of the Lung Cancer Screening Registry (LCSR)

Encino, CA

Lung cancer kills more people each year than breast, colorectal and prostate cancer combined. Annual lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in high-risk patients significantly reduces lung cancer deaths.^[1]^,[2]

Yet, less than 15% of Americans who met previous criteria are tested.^[3]^,[4] The American Cancer Society predicts 131,180 lung cancer deaths in 2022. More-widespread screening could save 30,000–60,000 lives in the United States each year.

Two big changes happened recently. First, Medicare lowered the recommended age for Screening from 50 to 55, and the American College of Radiology (ACR) has updated it’s Lung Cancer Screening Registry (LCSR) to Version 1.6, and beginning the end of September 2022, will not accept older versions.

Omnicare for Lung, a widely used platform to help manage lung screening and pulmonary nodule patients, has been licensed by the ACR for LungRads and the LCSR, since it’s inception and complies with all Medicare data collection requirements. Clients using OmniCare Version 8 will meet this new LCSR requirement.

At Barrett, OmniCare is fully integrated with their Epic Radiant and EHR with HL7 interfaces. As part of this paperless workflow, Epic sends OmniCare Orders, the techs review patient’s history and risk factors in the system, then with a click of a button, Omnicare’s Print2PACS feature sends a the hx form directly to Barrett’s GE Centricity PACS as a Dicom Image, easily reviewed by the radiologist.
