A recent study conducted at the University of Wisconsin discusses the use of the A3 problem solving method to address breast cancer screening disparities. The A3 method is a quality improvement tool that aims to identify problems, analyze data, and propose solutions. The study found that 74% of eligible patients had received a mammogram within the last two years, with disparities observed among different racial and ethnic groups. The researchers implemented various process improvements, such as multilingual reminders, marketing campaigns, and expanded access to screening facilities, to reduce these disparities. The study concludes that the A3 problem solving method can be an effective approach for cancer centers to address screening disparities. [Extracted from the article] |
