AI-supported workflow boosts incidental lung nodule follow-up in emergency department

An AI-supported workflow increased patient notification of incidental pulmonary nodules from 75% to 88.4% (p=0.0001) and follow-up from 53.5% to 67.9% (p=0.0012) in the ED.

• Inability to reach patients by phone after their ED visit was identified as a significant barrier to follow-up.
• No significant difference in lung cancer stage at diagnosis was observed between cohorts.
