245 Background: Despite low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for lung cancer recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) demonstrating a relative reduction in mortality, there remains low rates of testing nationwide. Yet studies are limited regarding specific differences in screening rates amongst various outpatient care settings. Methods: We performed retrospective chart reviews of patients followed by resident providers within an academic internal medicine residency program who met USPSTF guidelines for lung cancer screening between 2015-2020. This was conducted at three separate outpatient clinic sites including a state-funded academic institution, inner city community health center, and veteran affairs medical center. Data collection included patient demographic and smoking histories as well as rates of ordered and completed LDCT screening. Results: A total of 832 patients were identified as current or former smokers between the ages of 55 and 80 years: 320 from Hartford Hospital Community Health Center (HHCHC), 262 from University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC), and 250 from the Veteran Affairs (VA) Medical Center. 85 (27%) of these patients from HHCHC, 84 (32%) from UCHC, and 56 (22%) from the VA met USPSTF eligibility criteria for LDCT screening. Overall compliance rates of screening were found to be 44% at HHCHC, 59.5% at UCHC, and 51.8% at the VA. Results are outlined in Table. Conclusions: Screening rates for lung cancer with LDCT remain low but have been steadily improving throughout the United States following new recommendations and increased awareness provided by multiple medical organizations. We sought to compare differences in compliance rates amongst various outpatient clinics within the same internal medicine residency program at University of Connecticut. Our findings demonstrate significant differences in LDCT screening for lung cancer between the program’s community health center versus its state and federally funded outpatient clinics. Automatic reminders to providers can potentially improve rates of lung cancer screening. Patients should also be educated about the importance of screening to improve adherence with imaging.
