More than two years into the pandemic providers are finally beginning to see mammography appointments return to pre-COVID-19 numbers. But even before COVID-19, compliance was far from ideal. In 2018, just 66.7% of women age 40 and older had received a mammogram in the previous two years, according to CDC research. As providers navigate the challenges of so many missed appointments, what approaches can they take to get patients back on track with their screening mammograms? This webinar will highlight best practices to elevate patient compliance and improve outcomes. Attendees will also receive tools and resources practices can share with patients.  

This 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to: 

• Discover the barriers that keep women from scheduling mammograms
• Improve patient education regarding breast care
• Solve scheduling challenges of annual mammography appointments
