“This program helps us catch cancer earlier, when it’s most treatable. That’s the difference.”

Parker Harris, CEO and Administrator, Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton

THE CHALLENGE

The “Mid-South Miracle” was too big to achieve under the status quo

Baptist Memorial Health Care Corporation (BMHCC) pledged to bring about a 25% reduction in lung cancer deaths by 2030, but the limits of the lung cancer screening and incidental pulmonary nodule programs they had in place became clear.

Key Objectives

Lack of physician alignment

Inconsistent follow-up

Fragmented processes

Staffing limitations

THE SOLUTION

BMHCC scaled tech and services to manage surging case volume

They replaced manual processes with a single platform and an enterprise approach to centralize operations, support top-of-license care management, and deliver longitudinal care at scale.

Key Enablers

Systemwide standardization

End-to-end patient-level reporting

Intelligent automation

Risk-based segmentation

THE RESULT

They achieved high impact without hiring – and ROI within eight months

UCHealth accelerated the time-to-recommended next step from 34 days to just 5 days, as well as driving over 3,400 necessary downstream exams and procedures.

“We set a goal to reduce lung cancer mortality across the mid-south by 25% in 10 years. This tool is going to help us do that.”
