XECAN Smart Clinic successfully develops a national CT lung screening registry for research and reporting purposes for Rescue Lung Society(RLS) which aims to empower lung health and reduce health disparities through prevention and early detection.
A national CTLS registry will provide precedence in data and trends analytics to further drive the mission of RLS to save lives at risk for lung cancer through high-quality CTLS today and pioneering early detection innovations tomorrow.
At the beginning of 2020, RLS planned to build a national CTLS registry for research and reporting purposes. The site will allow users to enroll either through self-enrollment or RLS-assisted enrollment. The registered users can view their data and compare it with aggregate registry data. The submitted data will be stored in a relational database to generate various analytics. RLS administrators will have a hierarchical view of all submitted data, registered accounts, and users. The registry will be hosted in a HIPAA-compliant cloud and all the data submissions will be encrypted. The site’s architecture is a highly scalable cluster with fail-over servers with an available uptime of 99.999%. The cluster is deployed on the Amazon cloud.
Among different software vendors, XECAN was selected to design, develop and maintain the registry.
“We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with the Rescue Lung Society to build the registry and get it done within budget and on time” commented XECAN CEO, Dr. Bin Yang
“It was truly a pleasure to be able to work with XECAN in developing this registry. Their experience in healthcare and HIPAA compliance allowed us to build a registry that we feel will allow sites to easily and effectively share and compare data to improve the overall quality of CTLS and increase screening rates.” comments from Dr. Shawn Regis, Secretary of the Rescue Lung Society.
The Rescue Lung Society (RLS) was founded by a multidisciplinary group of clinicians and research scientists with a decade-long track record of CTLS innovation including originating the currently accepted standard CTLS reporting system (Lung-RADS), pioneering community benefit CTLS, prototyping the first commercially available dedicated CTLS program management system, establishing the first state-sponsored CTLS learning collaborative, publishing the only commercially available CTLS reading simulator and training tool (MeVis Lung Academy), identifying novel lung cancer biomarkers, and successfully lobbying CMS to establish CTLS reimbursement.
