Sharp Rees-Stealy Quality Measures for Breast Cancer Screening

What was measured?
What percentage of medical group members, women ages 42 to 69, had a mammogram to test for breast cancer during the past two years?

These results are based on patient records from the medical group or HMO.

Why is it important?
Checking women for breast cancer helps save lives. When cancer is found early, there is a much better chance that it can be cured. A test called a "mammogram" is the best way to find breast cancer early.

Sharp Rees-Stealy Score: 86.07 percent
State Average: 72.03 percent
