Beyond the Mammogram Stories
- The Practice With a 1% Recall RateIn 2013, a breast imaging practice with 8 interpreting physicians and 5,900 mammograms a year had redesigned its workflow around same-day care. On paper, their recall rate was less than 1%. That number was wrong, and so were three other key performance indicators.
- 200 Pages of Audit Data, One QuestionThe audit covered 27 facilities and 25 interpreting physicians. It was complete, accurate, and 200 pages long. The lead interpreting physician looked at it and asked: "How do I make sense out of all of this?" That question became a product.
- The Data Was Already ThereA health system affiliate performing 90,000 mammograms a year lost the PACS features their navigation team depended on. They asked Mammologix for help. Six weeks later, they had a better workflow than they'd had before, and it didn't stay at one facility.
- The 90-Day Safety NetA referring physician called the breast imaging manager not to ask a question but to say thank you. The report his office never received, the patient who hadn't responded, and a 90-day overdue notice that changed what happened next.
- Where the 30-60-90 Model Came FromIn 1997, one of Mammologix's earliest clients was a solo breast surgeon performing 1,050 mammograms a year. Her practice taught us something that changed how we approach follow-up across every facility we serve.
- The Letter That Brought Them BackA two-site community imaging program performing 7,500 mammograms a year had a 55% annual screening return rate, 25 points below the ACR benchmark. The Director of Imaging wrote a letter. One mailing cycle later, more than one in five patients came back.
- When a Result Letter Becomes a Care PathwayA hospital-affiliated breast imaging program launched a breast cancer risk assessment communication initiative across 3 sites. Over 20 months and 100,000 communications later (and after solving a problem no one anticipated), it had grown to more than 12 sites across a tri-county area.
- The Report That Said Two Different ThingsA signed mammography report had been dictated, transcribed, and released. The body said normal. The assessment said biopsy immediately. Four hours later, Mammologix caught it. The patient never received a letter. This is not a rare event in the industry; it is a documented one.
- When the EMR Isn't EnoughA multi-site breast imaging network had a shared EMR across all locations. Patients were still falling through the cracks, invisibly, across silos, with no one connecting the picture. From request to a working cross-facility tracking model: 24 hours.
- The Referrals That Didn't Come BackA facility performing 3,750 mammograms a year had already decided to purchase an MRI unit. The question on the table was whether to add the breast coil accessory. They asked Mammologix for a volume estimate. The tracking data answered a different question entirely.
- Ongoing Continuing Experience: Inspection DayIn 2026, an MQSA inspector was on site. One interpreting physician's count had fallen approximately 120 interpretations short of the required 960. The gap had caught everyone off guard. Mammologix had 45 minutes to respond.
