Information Applicable to All Algorithms
Breast Cancer Diagnostic Algorithms for Primary Care Providers
(Third Edition, June 2005)
Documentation of the Visit
Upon completion of the woman's CBE, thorough and
standardized documentation will assure appropriate
continuity of care, enhance communication between
providers, and represent a prudent risk management
strategy.
In order to maintain continuity of care, the PCP must coordinate service delivery across settings, multiple providers and time. Breakdowns in the coordination of primary and specialty care have the potential for missed or delayed diagnoses (Institute for Healthcare Improvement, 2000).
A sample CBE Results Documentation form is included in Appendix A-4 of the Algorithm Booklet.
