Objectives: To evaluate a medical data management system of a
mammogram unit in a department of Radiology. Methods: This is a
qualitative and quantitative assessment
study in Fann Teaching Hospital between April 2014 andJune 2015 one year after its implementation. The
quantitative component consisted of the audit of the database to
determine the socio-demographic characteristics
of patients and the results of mammograms. The qualitative component
assessedusers’ experience. For analysis, quantitative data were extracted and
transferred to
Microsoft Excel. For scale variables, we calculated the averages and extremes.
For qualitative variables, we established percentages.Results:
During the study period, 433 patients underwent mammograms. The average
age of patients was 48 years. The completion rate maintained above 85% was
below 26% in the first two months of use. As to the completeness given examinations, it was still above 83%.The results of mammogram
examinations were normal in the majority of cases: 96% for
the right breast and 95.2% for the left
breast. All users had a favourable opinion about the database. The reasons were better work organization,
comprehensiveness, accessibility and standardization of
