Percentage of women 50-74 years of age who had a mammogram to screen for breast cancer in the 27 months prior to the end of the Measurement Period.

Denominator: Women 51 through 74 years of age at the start of the measurement period with a visit during the measurement period.
  • Patient’s age is calculated based on the patient’s Date of Birth, which was entered when you created the patient’s account.
  • Create a note detailing the patient’s office visit.
Denominator Exclusions: Women who had a Bilateral Mastectomy or Unilateral Mastectomy or have a history of Bilateral Mastectomy or for whom there is evidence of a right and a left unilateral Mastectomy:
  • If a "Bilateral Mastectomy" or "Unilateral Mastectomy" is documented under Hospitalizations/Procedures in History. These patients will be excluded from the denominator.

  • Long Term Care is documented under Long Term Care Facility in History. These patients will be excluded from the denominator.

Numerator: Women with one or more mammograms during the 27 months prior to the end of the measurement period.
  • A "Mammogram" order must be created under Labs/Studies.
  • The clinician will have to sign the results when received. If results are not received via eLabs, the results will have to be manually added on the order created in Labs/Studies.
  • To add a "Mammogram" previously completed by the patient, create a Lab Order Report.
