Lung cancer remains the world’s leading cause of cancer-related death. It is one of the most serious cancers, but when it’s found early, it’s often much easier to treat and survival rates improve dramatically. The challenge? Many people who qualify for lung cancer screening either don’t know if they’re eligible or miss important follow-up scans.
That’s where Eon comes in.
Eon is a powerful healthcare technology coming to Hancock Health. Integrating Eon into our lung cancer screening program offers several key benefits:
· Keeps patients informed and engaged in their lung health.
· Helps patients stay on track with recommended screenings.
· Supports timely follow-up testing for early detection and peace of mind.
Using advanced data tools, Eon makes sure no patient slips through the cracks, so you get the care and attention you deserve at every step. Timely diagnosis, personalized care, and improved outcomes are just some of the ways Eon will help us elevate our lung cancer screening program.
Eon supports early detection, improves communication, and gives patients peace of mind knowing their lung health is being closely monitored. By using AI, Eon assists in pulling important data such as incidental findings. When we do imaging tests like a CT scan or X-ray, we sometimes see something unexpected that’s not related to the reason the scan was ordered. Finding these things early can be helpful because it gives us a chance to monitor or treat something before it causes problems. It’s another way for us to stay proactive about your health.
“As a nurse, I am passionate about patient education and advocacy. I strive to ensure patients feel informed, empowered, and confident that their care is being closely monitored behind the scenes. With Eon overseeing our workflow, chart reviews are more efficient, enabling our team to place orders and make referrals promptly so patients receive the care they need and deserve. I’m excited to implement additional oversight through Eon for patients needing this level of close and consistent follow-up. Patients deserve a strong team to assist and guide them along their journey, and supporting patients through their healthcare experience is a responsibility I deeply value.” – Melanie Hilton BSN, RN, Radiology Nurse Navigator
