Feature | Mammography Reporting Software | Erin Martin
Centers that perform mammograms in the United States know their job doesn’t just stop at delivering results to the referring physician. Mammography is regulated by the government and centers need to adhere to the rules for breast cancer tracking and reporting in the Mammography Quality and Standards Act (MQSA). This means a more personal relationship with the mammography patients is necessary, as the center is responsible for providing each patient’s results and ensuring each patient has the required follow-up exams. This is a timely endeavor, and without a streamlined solution to help with breast cancer tracking and reporting, patients can get lost when waiting for priors or follow up exams causing centers to fail their annual MQSA audits. I recommend selecting a solution that will automate breast cancer tracking and reporting to improve patient care, while cutting costs and saving time. With that said, below are five changes you can make to improve breast cancer tracking and reporting within your facility.
