Business Solutions: Improving Mammography Compliance by MGMA

Our guest today is Susan Holley, breast radiologist and clinical director for research and development at Onsite Women’s Health.

In 2018, just 66.7% of women age 40 and older had received a mammogram in the previous two years, according to CDC research. As providers navigate the challenges of so many missed appointments, what approaches can they take to get patients back on track with their screening mammograms?

In this episode, Susan Holley details the importance of annual mammograms. She also shares insights on early detection and creating better efficiencies in annual exam scheduling.
