Abstract

The way care is delivered has dramatic impact on the patient-provider interaction and the outcomes experienced by the patient. This article explores a deceptively simple but very powerful method for evaluating and improving care delivery. Mammography is a routine screening procedure. However, many factors can influence how frequently women seek and obtain mammograms. Twenty-five low-income women identified empowering factors and barriers they experienced when trying to obtain a mammogram.
