Utah Admin. Code R432-950-14 - Education and Notification Requirements
(1) A patient has the right to be treated
with dignity and afforded privacy during the examination.
(2) The facility shall establish an education
system to ensure that the patient understands:
(a) The purpose of the mammogram and how it
is used to screen for breast cancer;
(b) The process required to obtain the
mammogram;
(c) The importance of
the screening mammography to her ongoing health.
(3) As required in Utah Code
26-21a-206,
the facility shall include the following notification and information with a
mammography result provided to a patient with dense breast tissue: "Your
mammogram indicates that you have dense breast tissue. Dense breast tissue is
common and is found in as many as half of all women. However, dense breast
tissue can make it more difficult to fully and accurately evaluate your
mammogram and detect early signs of possible cancer in the breast. This
information is being provided to inform and encourage you to discuss your dense
breast tissue and other breast cancer risk factors with your health care
provider. Together, you can decide what may be best for you. A copy of your
mammography report has been sent to your health care provider. Please contact
them if you have any questions or concerns about this notice."
(4) The copy of the mammography report
provided to the patient and the health care provider shall include the dense
breast tissue notification required under Utah Code 26-21a-206.
