Communication among teams improves mammogram
rates
  • FEATURED TEAM
  • Adult Medicine
  • WHAT THEY DID
  • The members of this UBT at Shady Grove Medical
    Center in Rockville, Md., worked with Primary
    Care and Radiology to resolve scheduling
    conflicts that resulted in patients being turned
    away from same-day mammogram appointments. The
    unit-based team
  • Created a working agreement with Radiology that
    spells out a process for sharing schedule
    information so the best days and times for
    same-day mammograms can be identified.
  • Set clear boundaries. For example, the Adult
    Medicine unit agreed not to send patients for
    mammograms after 345 p.m., when one radiology
    technician is trying to close out the days
    appointments without incurring overtime.
