Mammography Services: Initial Impact of New Federal Law Has Been Positive

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Oct. 27, 1995
Report No. HEHS-96-17
Subject
Summary:

The Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992 imposed uniform standards for mammography in all states, requiring certification and annual inspection of mammography facilities. GAO found that the act has had a positive impact, resulting in higher quality equipment, personnel, and practices. Mammography quality standards are now in place in all states, and these standards do not appear to have hampered access to services. To avoid large-scale closure of facilities, however, the Food and Drug Administration settled on an approach that allowed some delay in meeting the certification requirements. For this and other reasons, such as the availability of outcome data, more time will be needed before the act's full impact can be determined. GAO is required to assess the effects of the act again in two years and to issue a report in 1997.
