When Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines Disagree, Who Explains It to the Patient? | Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 | Day 07

A special BINA Voices edition! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for the next 31 days, we are going beyond awareness to look at what happens after the mammogram. Join Richard Lippert, Founder, President, and Chief Executive Auditor of Mammologix, as we carry on into Day 07 of our Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 series: When Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines Disagree, Who Explains It to the Patient? A result can be generated. A letter can be sent. A recommendation can be documented. But the real question is: Did the patient complete the next step, and do we know the outcome? This episode looks at what happens when USPSTF, ACOG, ACR, ACS, and ACP recommendations do not line up perfectly, and how breast imaging programs should respond. A patient should never be expected to sort through competing national guidelines on her own.

Patient Reached Does Not Mean Patient Resolved | Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 | Day 05

A special BINA Voices edition! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for the next 31 days, we are going beyond awareness to look at what happens after the mammogram. Join Richard Lippert, Founder, President, and Chief Executive Auditor of Mammologix, as we carry on into Day 05 of our Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 series: What happens after the mammogram may be just as important as the mammogram itself. A result can be generated. A letter can be sent. A recommendation can be documented. But the real question is: Did the patient complete the next step, and do we know the outcome? This episode explores how event being open or closed simply doesn't cut it in today's healthcare environment. In fact, there is a whole new vocabulary emerging to better detail the status of follow-up tracking. Patient reached is good news. Patient resolved tells us the loop has actually been closed.

A Status is Not an Action Plan | Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 | Day 04

A special BINA Voices edition! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for the next 31 days, we are going beyond awareness to look at what happens after the mammogram. Join Richard Lippert, Founder, President, and Chief Executive Auditor of Mammologix, as we carry on into Day 04 of our Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 series: What happens after the mammogram may be just as important as the mammogram itself. A result can be generated. A letter can be sent. A recommendation can be documented. But the real question is: Did the patient complete the next step, and do we know the outcome? This episode explores why effective tracking must move beyond status lists and become a connected process that follows the patient journey from result to resolution. Because breast imaging does not end when the result is entered. Sometimes that is exactly where the most important work begins.

What Does “Closing the Loop” Actually Mean? | Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 | Day 03

A special BINA Voices edition! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for the next 31 days, we are going beyond awareness to look at what happens after the mammogram. Join Richard Lippert, Founder, President, and Chief Executive Auditor of Mammologix, as we carry on into Day 02 of our Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 series: What happens after the mammogram may be just as important as the mammogram itself. A result can be generated. A letter can be sent. A recommendation can be documented. But the real question is: Did the patient complete the next step, and do we know the outcome? This episode explores that there is a difference between recording activity and managing continuity. Detection is clinical. Resolution requires both clinical judgment and operational continuity.

The Mammogram Is Only the Beginning | Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 | Day 01

A special BINA Voices edition! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for the next 31 days, we are going beyond awareness to look at what happens after the mammogram. Because getting the mammogram is only the beginning. A result has to be communicated. A recommendation has to be understood. Follow-up may need to be scheduled. Additional imaging may be required. A biopsy may follow. Pathology may need to be reconciled. And somewhere along the way, someone has to know whether the process was actually completed. That is the part of breast imaging we do not talk about enough. Today, we begin with a simple but important question: What happens next? Join Richard Lippert, Founder, President, and Chief Executive Auditor of Mammologix, as we start on Day 01 of our Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2026 series: The Mammogram Is Only the Beginning. Because the mammogram may find the problem. What happens next can define the outcome.

Decoding NAPBC: Your Blueprint for Breast Imaging Excellence and Continuous Improvement

So, maybe your healthcare facility has gathered you and the rest of the multidisciplinary team together to share some exciting news—you’re joining the growing group of institutions in the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, or NAPBC. And as part of that, your breast imaging services team has explained how you’ll be playing a key role in helping your facility succeed, what’s going to be expected of you, and how your work fits into the bigger quality program. Or… maybe it wasn’t quite that formal. Maybe someone just said, “Hey, I need this information,” sent you to a website with the 100-plus-page NAPBC manual, and told you to get your data in by the end of next week. Either way, if “NAPBC” is still a bit of a mystery to you, this episode is a great place to start. We’re going to break down what the NAPBC requires from the breast imaging department and, more importantly, how those requirements translate into real-world tasks like recordkeeping, auditing, monitoring, and reporting. Then we’ll talk about practical, evidence-based ways to not just meet those standards—but really excel at them—so your breast imaging program becomes a strong contributor to your facility’s overall success and multidisciplinary excellence.

BINA: Patient Navigation - A Lifeline in Breast Health Imaging

In the late 20th century, Dr. Harold P. Freeman made a game-changing discovery—patients weren’t just dying of cancer; they were dying because they couldn’t access timely care. From the halls of Harlem Hospital, he pioneered patient navigation, a revolutionary approach that broke down barriers to diagnosis and treatment, transforming cancer care forever. What started as a small program has grown into a national movement, especially in breast health, where navigators guide patients through the complex world of imaging, biopsies, and treatment. But challenges remain—disparities persist, access isn’t equal, and the fight for health equity continues. Join us in this episode of BINA Voices, as we explore the past, present, and future of patient navigation in breast imaging, hearing from the experts and the patients whose lives have been forever changed.
