The Medical Quality Improvement System will provide a computerized means of entering, retrieving, processing and maintaining patient information. The program will store all available data regarding patient visits, treatments and outcomes in a patient breast care database. It will provide an interactive and intuitive means of collecting this data. This database will facilitate the evaluation of patient risk factors and provide a variety of reporting options for patient follow-up and practice management. The use of this system will integrate patient management with other hospital systems and it can potentially provide a single point of entry for patient data. It will also monitor Medical Quality Improvement by simplifying the entry and access of patient data, improving reporting capabilities, compute risk factors, providing diagnostic controls and furnishing statistical information.
