I am getting a high number of False Positives because its calculating people who are being called back for additional views that turn out to be negative as False Positive patients. In their own statistic definitions it should be calculating disease found at biopsy (which is MQSA standards also). These people just had additional views that turned out negative and its calculating them in the equation. How are other mammographers / facilities dealing with this issue? Currently most of our problem cases are patients that have a screening exam and need to come back to check out a site that ends up being negative but this is days and weeks later than the original study. Is there a way to set up the system differently? I currently use the f/u list and patient letters print after the case is read, so holding the exam unread is not an option for me. I will take any information that may help our scenario, or I will change the way I input information if it is needed. Please Help?????????
