Quality indicators:
Why should experience
be important to you?
The more experience the doctor
has, the better the results. A majority of studies find lower patient
mortality rates for given procedures when the hospital or physician has
high-volume experience performing that procedure (Annals of Internal
Medicine, 9/17/02)

Experience
Research confirms that more experience means
better outcomes (JAMA, March 2000). In the past six
years, the total procedures performed at Mercy Women’s Center has more
than doubled. Those procedures include diagnostic and screening
mammograms (both digital and film), ultrasounds, biopsies, bone density
testing and more.
Accreditation
Mercy Women’s Center holds full accreditation from the American College
of Radiology.
