The Quarterly Aggregate Report provides an overview of your facility's lung cancer screening activity submitted to the ACR Lung Cancer Screening Registry (LCSR). This report summarizes screening volume and key data elements submitted during the selected reporting period.
Facilities can use this report to monitor screening trends, evaluate program performance, and confirm that data is being submitted to the registry as expected.

On the left hand menu, navigate down to the Facility Management section, and select Aggregate Reports.

For facilities with a Corporate-Child hierarchy, copies of each child facility report are also available for download through the Corporate Facility account, allowing the Corporate Administrator to download all reports.
The rest of this article briefly describes each section of the PDF version of the report.
Facilities Map
The Facilities Map displays the geographic distribution of facilities that contributed data for the given reporting period, grouped by Census Division. 
The map provides a visual representation of which facilities are included in the Division comparison statistics included in the report.
Measure Definitions
The Measures Definitions table provides a brief description of each measure listed in the report.
Facility Characteristics
Measures for your facility are compared to the entire registry as 
well as to similar facilities. “Similar” facilities are those with the same
Facility Type – e.g. Community, Academic, Freestanding, etc.
Location – e.g. Metropolitan, Suburban, Rural
Census Division
The Facilities Characteristics section summarizes the frequency of each facility characteristic. Each chart shows your facility name and characteristic in the title, and the distribution of each characteristic across the entire registry.
Facility and Physician Data
LCSR measures are grouped into four sections:
Section 1 includes facility-level preliminary data for screening exams in the current reporting period.
Section 2 includes facility-level data for exams from the prior calendar year with a follow-up through the current reporting period.
Sections 3 and 4 follow the same format as Sections 1 and 2, with data by physician National Provider Identifier (NPI).
Each section contains a National Comparison table showing measures for your facility, or a single physician, and the entire LCSR Registry.
Note: The National Comparison table is also available as an Excel spreadsheet for facilities with a Corporate-Child hierarchy and shows data for all Child facilities side-by-side.
A Regional Comparison table is also provided in Sections 1 and 2 and compares your facility’s measures to facilities of the same type, in the same type of location, and in the same Census Division.
Physicians Participating in ABQ PQI Projects
LCSR is certified as a Practice Quality Improvement (PQI) project for ABR Part IV Maintenance of Certification. The LCSR Quarterly Aggregate Report includes a table of all physicians currently listed as participating in an ABR PQI project through the LCSR. However, it is no longer necessary for the ACR to track your project. Consult ABR PQI Projects for more details.
