An interventional study of Quality Implementation of Lung Cancer Screening (QUILS) System in Lung Cancer Screening, sponsored by Timothy Mullett. Recruiting at 17 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 100 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-06.
Sponsored by Timothy Mullett · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
This clinical trial studies statewide optimization of lung cancer screening (LCS) in Kentucky using the Quality Implementation of Lung Screening (QUILS™) System. Data from the Kentucky Cancer Registry shows that LCS implementation has contributed to a rapid decline in late-stage lung cancer diagnosis at twice the national average. Further, the declines are more than three times the national average decline in Kentucky's Central Appalachian region. Kentucky-based multilevel initiatives are needed to expand and accelerate this leading role and extend the LCS opportunity to more Kentuckians who are at increased risk of lung cancer. This trial may be able to accelerate optimal high-quality implementation of LCS utilizing the QUILS™ System and reduce the burden of lung cancer by assisting lung cancer screening programs located throughout Kentucky in implementing best practices in lung cancer screening by integrating the QUILS™ System domains and elements into their screening programs.
Timothy Mullett is the lead sponsor of 5 studies on the registry; 4 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants who are members of the lung cancer screening program (LCSP) team will receive the QUILS System intervention, including completion of the QUILS Index Assessment, participation in QUILS Audit and Feedback presentations, access tot the QUILS Resource Portal and site specific action plans, and formative evaluation interviews.
Behavioral: Quality Implementation of Lung Cancer Screening (QUILS) System
The QUILS System is a health services research intervention designed to improve the quality of lung cancer screening programs. The intervention includes QUILS Index Assessment, QUILS Audit and Feedback Report and Presentation, QUILS Resource Portal, site-specific action plans, and formative evaluation activities.
Change in Quality Improvement Lung Cancer Screening (QUILS) Index Assessment Score
The QUILS Index Assessment is a program-level measure of lung cancer screening implementation quality. Scores range from 0 to 95, with a higher score indicating higher quality implementation of lung cancer screening practices. The outcome measure is the change in total QUILS Index score from Baseline to 12 months.
Time frame: Baseline and Month 9
