According to new paper published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the capability to self-schedule mammograms was associated with a 15% increase in follow-through with the screening. When patients lack the time to call a scheduling line or encounter challenges in finding appointments that suit their schedule, self-scheduling facilitates a smoother path to completing mammograms.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate if an electronic health record (EHR) self-scheduling function was associated with changes in mammogram completion for primary care patients who were eligible for a screening mammogram using U.S. Preventive Service Task Force recommendations.
