Workplace screening mammography at a fixed facility significantly improves access to this vital cancer detection service. This approach demonstrated high patient satisfaction and effectively identified early-stage breast cancers.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Screening mammography compliance can be hindered by cost and inconvenience.
  • Workplace screening programs offer a solution to improve accessibility.
  • Fixed-facility screening at a company site is a practical alternative to mobile units.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the initial experience and effectiveness of a fixed-facility workplace screening mammography program.
  • To assess patient acceptance and satisfaction with on-site screening mammography.
  • To determine the cancer detection rate within an employee population.

Main Methods:

  • A cooperative venture established a fixed screening mammography facility at a pharmaceutical company headquarters.
  • The program offered no-cost screening mammography to employees, dependents, and retirees over 40.

  • An academic radiology department provided equipment and personnel; the company was billed a fixed cost per exam.

    • Main Results:

    • Over 22 months, 4210 screening mammograms were performed.
    • The cancer detection rate was 4.3 per 1000 (0.43%), with 11 of 18 cancers being minimal.
    • 97% of surveyed patients reported high satisfaction and willingness to use the facility again.

    Conclusions:

    • A fixed workplace screening mammography facility is a viable model for increasing access to high-quality care.
    • This model effectively overcomes common barriers to screening mammography.
    • High patient satisfaction indicates strong acceptance of workplace-based screening programs.
