Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology and Imaging
  • Health Informatics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Online self-scheduling offers potential for enhanced patient convenience and engagement in healthcare.
  • Screening mammography completion is crucial for early breast cancer detection.
  • Traditional scheduling methods may present barriers to timely screening appointments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare outpatient screening mammography completion rates before and after implementing an online self-scheduling system.
  • To evaluate the difference in completion rates between patients using self-scheduling versus traditional scheduling methods.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of women aged 18+ scheduling screening mammography between October 2017 and June 2023.
  • Implementation of an institutional online self-scheduling system via Epic MyChart in February 2021.
  • Difference-in-difference analyses comparing completion rates between self-scheduling and traditional scheduling cohorts.

Main Results:

  • The overall mammography completion rate increased from 78.9% pre-implementation to 79.8% post-implementation.
  • The self-scheduling cohort demonstrated an 8.4 percentage point higher completion rate compared to traditional scheduling.
  • Screening mammography completion rate increased by 8.5 percentage points for the self-scheduling cohort versus 0.1 percentage points for the traditional scheduling cohort.

Conclusions:

  • Online self-scheduling implementation was associated with a significant increase in screening mammography completion rates.
  • Self-scheduling offers a viable strategy to improve patient adherence to recommended cancer screenings.
