Research Goals1) To evaluate the barriers to breast cancer screening by mammography
2) To measure the effectiveness of an outreach program for breast cancer screening at Wingra clinic
3) To identify “missed opportunities” for screening patients at Wingra clinic

BackgroundBreast Cancer• Rank: 2nd leading cause of cancer death in US women• Incidence: 230,480 (2011)¹• Deaths: 40,970 (2007)²• Recent changes: screening mammogram every 2 years for
women ages 50-74• National screening rate: 71% (2008)³

Literature reviewLiterature search• Papers published in PubMed from 2006-2010• Search terms (MeSH and Keywords):
• mammography, mammogram, delivery of healthcare, quality improvement, preventive health services, barriers, and screening
Significant barriers at the patient, provider and structural levels
![Page 8: Barriers to Screening Mammography in an Urban Family Medicine Residency Clinic](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568164cc550346895dd6eff0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Patient Barriers to Screening Mammography
Variables• Race/ethnicity• Language• Insurance• BMI • Age • Family history of breast cancer • Smoking
![Page 9: Barriers to Screening Mammography in an Urban Family Medicine Residency Clinic](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568164cc550346895dd6eff0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Provider Barriers Provider barriers• Lack of time, training, skill, and awareness• Lack of continuity with patient• Financial barriers• Cultural barriers• Assignment of higher priority to other health concerns/competing
demands• Physician fatigue• Negative attitude about breast cancer screening and mammography
![Page 10: Barriers to Screening Mammography in an Urban Family Medicine Residency Clinic](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568164cc550346895dd6eff0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Structural and Mammography-related Barriers
Structural barriers• Cost or lack of insurance• Failure to recall that patient is due for exam/lack of reminders• Poor documentation and charting within office• Lack of follow-up Barriers related to mammography • Patient reluctance/fear/anxiety• Challenges/delays to scheduling mammogram• Preparation by patients for procedure/adherence• Unpleasantness of procedure• Referrals (additional consultation)• Lack of direct access to mammography
![Page 11: Barriers to Screening Mammography in an Urban Family Medicine Residency Clinic](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568164cc550346895dd6eff0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HypothesesWe hypothesize that:
1) Several demographic factors are associated with failure to receive services:• Black, Hispanic, and Asian race/ethnicity• Primary language other than English• Insurance type (public and uninsured)
2) Outreach• Those who receive outreach services are more likely to be screened
3) Missed opportunitiesThe likelihood of having a screening mammogram ordered is increased if:• Seeing one’s own PCP • Provider receives a staff reminder in EMR• Health maintenance visit

Outreach and Missed Opportunities
Telephone outreach to “overdue” and “due soon” patients• 3 rounds of calls + 1 mailed letter• Interpreter services available
Missed opportunities: Chart review of patient visits between May 9 – June 21, 2011Visits n=142, Patients n=96• Primary Care Physician• Staff reminder• Health maintenance visit
![Page 17: Barriers to Screening Mammography in an Urban Family Medicine Residency Clinic](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568164cc550346895dd6eff0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Limitations and Challenges• Quality of data
• Small sample size for “Other” race/ethnicity (Asian, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander)(n=65 screened, n=37 unscreened)
• Loss to follow-up• Recent implementation of electronic ordering • Limited time and support from research staff• Only 1 staff member to conduct all outreach calls• Residency clinic

DiscussionKey Points:• Barriers – patient, provider, structural
• Insurance – having no insurance or public insurance• Race/ethnicity – minorities
What I learned:• Evidence-based guidelines for cancer screening • EMR data• Clinical duties vs. research responsibilities• Family medicine

Keep Calm and Carry On
• Analyze data from first round of outreach• Analyze “Missed Opportunities” data• Continue outreach • Begin patient focus groups
• Agree to getting a mammogram → Mammogram scheduled → No show

Questions?
“Who ever thought up the word “mammogram”? Every time I hear it, I think I’m supposed to put my breast in an envelope and send it to someone.”
