  • 1.  Quality Measures for Breast Center

    Posted 08-15-2019 08:49
    Hello,

    Curious if anyone has developed quality measures assessing performance of a breast center either physician owned or in partnership with a hospital owned center?  We are working with our main hospital partner in trying to identify appropriate QI measures to assess performance of radiologists and the breast center overall.

    Thanks - Josh

    Hi Josh,  the EQUIP  program requirement from the FDA provides many of the quality initiatives you may be looking for.  Here is a link to the FAQ https://www.fda.gov/media/101293/download  In addition, we track Cancer detection rates, False positives, False negatives, recall rates compared to the national averages.  This is done by radiologist and that way we can identify the outliers from a national perspective and internally within our own group.
