Identifying Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer Using Data From the Electronic Health Record Compared With Self-Report

Abstract

By using EHR data, we determined that 15% of women undergoing screening mammography had a high risk for breast cancer according to the BCSC model. There was moderate agreement between information on breast cancer risk derived from the EHR and self-report. Examining EHR data may serve as an initial screen for identifying women eligible for breast cancer chemoprevention.
