Planning Grants Final Evaluation Report
This document provides a longitudinal evaluation of the Patient Safety and Medical Liability Reform Demonstration Program’s planning grants. Those grants were designed to provide initial funding to States and health systems so they could explore new initiatives that address patient safety and medical liability. Given their limited budget and time period, it was anticipated that the planning grants would result solely in preliminary findings, primarily lessons learned from laying the groundwork for future patient safety and medical liability reform projects.

Lung Cancer Screening: A Summary Guide for Primary Care Clinicians
The study found that people were 16 to 20 percent less likely to die from lung cancer when screened with LDCT, as compared with standard screening chest x-rays. The mortality reduction is equivalent to three lung cancer deaths prevented per 1,000 people screened with three annual LDCT screens over 6.5 years. Previous studies had shown that screening with standard chest x-rays does not reduce the mortality rate from lung cancer. An overall reduction in mortality was also observed (about five in 1,000 fewer total deaths for individuals receiving LDCT rather than a chest x-ray).
