  The Mammography Quality Standards Act requires written communication to every patient after an abnormal screening mammogram. Starting in 2013, our institution began telephoning all patients with a Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) assessment 0 on the next business day to schedule their diagnostic follow-up. Our aim is to analyze th...
  Patient Experience With Notification of Radiology Results: A Comparison of Direct Communication and Patient Portal Use.
  Garry, Kira Blecker, Saul Saag, Harry Szerencsy, Adam Jones, Simon A Testa, Paul Kang, Stella K
  Patients increasingly access radiology results through digital portals. We compared patient satisfaction and understanding of radiology results when received through an electronic patient portal versus direct communication from providers. Patients were invited to participate in an online survey within 7 days of undergoing a radiology examination. P...
