Breast Cancer Screening Risk Factors: Who's Most at Risk?
Breast cancer screening is an essential examination that can drastically improve outcomes and reduce mortality with early detection. The American Cancer Society (ACS) reports that 67% of women aged 40 and older had a breast cancer screening in the last two years.1 However, disparities exist, and clear differences in screenings are emerging among populations.
Take a deep dive into a recent Inovalon study that highlights where these disparities happen across four major insurance types in the United States and how these disparities can affect measures used in quality and value-based care reporting.
