Improving Breast Imaging Clinical Productivity.

Abstract

Given current and evolving medical expectations from patients and ever-increasing complexities and demands placed upon clinical breast radiologists, to include patient access, workflow, communications, and timely medical reports, we need support systems to help advance professional productivity and efficiency. Likewise, advancing technological support with integrated systems should help support the objectives of increased professional productivity, career satisfaction, and quality patient care. In this report, we review important elements that help advance the mission of clinical breast radiologists, while meeting or exceeding patient expectations.
