Strategies to improve patient access and workflow efficiency will be discussed, along with the role of the Smart Body Mark documentation system in optimizing accuracy and streamlining breast cancer screening.
Objectives:
- Identify MQSA requirements for patient notification of breast composition and their impact on breast imaging programs.
