Know Your Guidelines
This is how often a qualifying mammogram must be completed for a patient to remain compliant with the Breast Cancer Screening measure.
What is every two years (Oct. 1, 2024, through Dec. 31, 2026)?
A patient with an open Breast Cancer Screening gap tells the clinic, "I had my mammogram last year at a facility near my home." There is no report currently available in the chart. This is what the clinic should do next.
What is identify where the mammogram was completed and obtain/request records by approaching the HIM team?
The web app shows an open quality gap, but while reviewing the patient's chart, you find documentation suggesting the patient already completed the required screening. This is what you should do next.
What is send/route the supporting documentation to Quality for review?
Screening methods that can satisfy the Colorectal Cancer Screening measure, along with how frequently each must be completed (name 2).
What are FOBT/FIT (annually), flexible sigmoidoscopy (once every 5 years), colonoscopy (once every 10 years), CT colonography (once every 5 years), or FIT-DNA/Cologuard (once every 3 years)?
A Cologuard was ordered for a patient with an open Colorectal Cancer Screening gap, but no completed result is available. This is the status of the gap.
What is a gap that is still open?
A patient had a negative ophthalmology diabetic retinal exam during the previous measurement year, but a DRE gap appears open in the web app this year. This is what the clinic should do next.
What is send the previous ophthalmology report to Quality for review/submission?
