THE CHALLENGE

Overcoming manual constraints

As their lung cancer screening program saw rapid growth, MHP recognized that relying solely on manual processes was unsustainable for managing increasing volumes.

Key Objectives

Disconnected Systems: Disparate processes and systems created gaps in visibility and added significant administrative burden.

Limited Capacity: Staff could no longer manage the growing volume of incidental lung nodules alongside their day-to-day responsibilities.

Manual Review Burden: Navigators had to manually review every radiology report to identify abnormalities, creating inefficiencies in care.

THE SOLUTION

Deploy a proactive, AI-powered "safety net"

In March 2025, MHP partnered with Eon to replace manual, keyword-based reporting with a platform that transforms "noise" into actionable clinical intelligence.

Key Enablers

Longitudinal Tracking: The platform helps ensure patients are supported over time by identifying care gaps, such as missing orders or unscheduled exams.

Streamlined Workflows: Clinical staff can accelerate follow-up and connect patients to care pathways efficiently, reducing the time to provider review to just 0.9 days.

Actionable Intelligence: Eon’s Computational Linguistics engine extracts key clinical details and applies guideline-based risk stratification.

THE RESULT

Catch and diagnose cancers earlier

Between March 2025 and March 2026, MHP diagnosed 60 lung cancers and achieved a >95% return rate for high-risk patients.

"We've had findings that very well could have been missed had this (Eon) not been implemented. The biggest takeaway is confidence - confidence that important findings are getting to the right people and that patients are not slipping through the cracks."
