Volume
What is "Volume" in the mammography audit?
In the mammography audit, volume is the total count of the desired data point being measured. This concept is crucial as it helps us understand the extent and frequency of specific procedures in the audit, like the "Volumes: Initial Mammograms Asymptomatic-Group" category, which gives the total number of initial asymptomatic mammograms for a facility.
What data categories within the mammography audit contain volumes?
Within Mammologix's mammography audit, the Interpreting Physician Executive Summary contains some data points that use volume counts, such as:
- Primary Technologist Volume: Provides a listing of all active primary technologists involved in providing breast imaging using mammographic techniques.
- Secondary Technologist Volume: Provides a listing of all active secondary technologists involved in providing breast imaging using mammographic techniques.
- Initial Mammograms Asymptomatic - Group/Individual Volumes: Provides the total number of initial asymptomatic mammograms provided by the facility and each provider.
- Initial Mammograms Diagnostic - Group/Individual Volumes: Provides the total number of initial diagnostic mammograms provided by the facility and each provider.
- All Mammograms (Initial + Follow-up) - Group/Individual Volumes: Provides the total number of mammograms (initial and follow-up) provided by the facility and each provider.
