Population-Based Health Engagement Opportunities Through Breast Imaging: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Survey.
Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR 2018 October
PURPOSE: As health care payment systems transition from fee-for-service to bundled payments, there is an increasing opportunity for radiologists to collaborate to improve population-based health care outcomes. Our purpose was to estimate the extent to which patients engaged in mammography underwent other additional imaging- and non-imaging-based preventative health services using Centers for Disease Control National Population Health Surveys.
METHODS: Women aged 40 to 74 in the 2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System cross-sectional survey without histories of breast cancer who reported having a mammogram within the past 2 years were included. Adherence to recommended preventative services was based on US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations, relative to the time at which the survey participant responded to the survey. Among women reporting being engaged in mammography, proportions of eligible women obtaining recommended preventative health services were calculated and stratified by demographics.
RESULTS: Of 172,245 women, 122,434 (71.1%) reported mammography within 2 years. The following percentages obtained recommended flu vaccines (49.2%), pneumococcal vaccines (69.5%), colorectal cancer screening (74.8%), and Papanicolaou test (93.2%). Women reporting mammography within the last 2 years with lower levels of education and income and who lacked health insurance or personal doctors were less likely to report receiving recommended preventative services (P < .001).
CONCLUSIONS: National population-based survey results suggest that large proportions of women engaged in mammography report are not up to date with a wide variety of recommended preventative health services, suggesting ample opportunities for radiology practices to partner with providers to improve population-based health outcomes and add value to health care systems.
