A woman has a one in eight chance of getting breast cancer in her lifetime. The need for early diagnosis is clear.
Simplify mammography workflow Cerner RadNet Mammography Management Providing all women with vital access to quality mammography services is essential to detecting breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages. Mammography Management, a package for the RadNet® Radiology Information System (RIS), helps facilities that provide mammography services efficiently deliver high-quality patient care. The unified Cerner Millennium® health care information technology architecture ensures clinicians have immediate access to consistent patient information. Built on that architecture, Mammography Management allows you to simplify and automate all processes associated with mammography service delivery — from scheduling and exam completion to results reporting and follow-up care notification. The solution also incorporates all of the key steps associated with mammography services and care directly into users’ daily workflow, ensuring efficient operations and quality care.
Cerner’s Mammography Management modules address five crucial areas: ■ Data collection ■ Results distribution ■ Patient recall notices ■ Documentation of follow-up ■ Quality assurance and statistical reporting
Data collection: clinical, procedural and pathological
Mammography Management capitalizes on the comprehensive data collection and management capabilities inherent in all Cerner Millennium solutions. With the solution, you can easily track patient information, histories, clinical findings, procedural information and pathology results.

Key Benefits ■ Improve patient outcomes by ensuring no patient is missed for follow-up ■ Maximize productivity with efficient workflow
Results distribution to physicians and patients
The mammography solution automates and streamlines results distribution, seamlessly disseminating mammography results to referring physicians upon availability.

Documentation of follow-up
Mammography Management provides you with complete capabilities for documenting care. The solution records all information related to care delivery to ensure no patients are lost to follow-up. Through various reporting options, this information is fully auditable. “Implementing RadNet was a huge step forward for us. We have replaced our home-grown, laborintensive, paper-based mammography patient tracking system with an automated system that has improved accuracy and optimized tracking of mammography information. This has had a positive impact on patient safety and the reduction of errors.” – Dyane Cecerre Clinical Information Systems Mgr. Methodist Le Bonheur Memphis, TN
