The health system partnered with digital health company Eon to automatically enroll eligible patients into its STAIR Program, which further evaluates the patient and establishes a care plan. Geisinger launched the STAIR Program, which stands for System to Track Abnormalities of Importance Reliably, in 2020 but found that referring and tracking patients was time-consuming, which is why the health system turned to Eon, according to a Nov. 1 Eon news release.
“The STAIR program and lung cancer screening program are two important ways that we can catch cancer earlier when the patient has a chance to be cured,” STAIR Program Director Yatin Mehta, MD, said in the news release. “We’re excited to work with Eon on innovation that’s making a difference by allowing our staff to manage more patients more efficiently — and ultimately saving lives with earlier intervention.”
