Eon Care Management is a technology-enabled virtual navigation service powered by Eon’s team of physician and patient navigators. They supplement internal hospital resources to ensure appropriate follow-up and diagnostic procedures are scheduled for patients with incidental pulmonary nodules. This expansion follows the adoption of Eon’s comprehensive incidental findings platform by HSHS, Eon patient management (EPM), at all of its locations. EPM identifies patients with underlying cancer or other significant medical risks to prevent catastrophic disease outcomes. The overall five-year survival rate for lung cancer is 20.2%, but can rise to 59% if the cancer is detected early.
“We are taking this important step because the Eon has demonstrated that it can identify cancer, sometimes before patients may develop symptoms, and improve follow-up appointment setting for these patients,” said Dr. Vincent Zatar, a St. John’s Hospital radiologist. “Through this program, we aim to achieve greater than 90% follow-up appointment compliance within five years. The end result is saving lives through early detection and treatment.”
“EPM provides highly sensitive and specific incidental discovery capture data, as well as the opportunity to improve patient care with timely follow-up next steps. Adding care management to EPM has a good track record of ensuring patients who need follow-up are getting the care they need,” added Dr. road. scott skiboChief Medical Officer of Eon.
