This HEDIS measure assesses women 50–74 years of age who had at least one mammogram to screen for breast cancer in the past two years.
The Breast Cancer Screening measure is also available in an ECDS format. Please visit ECDS webpage and NCQA Store for more information.
Why It Matters
Aside from some forms of skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, regardless of race or ethnicity.1 Screening can improve outcomes: Early detection reduces the risk of dying from breast cancer and can lead to a greater range of treatment options and lower health care costs.2
