GAO Reports (other)

This report cites OCER/DMQRP's MPRIS as a "noteworthy" example of an innovative effort at collecting information through electronic reporting, along with four other FDA information technology (IT) systems. The report notes FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health has developed an Internet-based Mammography Program Reporting and Information System to support the agency's statutorily mandated responsibility for certification and inspection of all mammography facilities in the United States.

Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) Facility Satisfaction Survey:
(fulfills requirements of Executive Order 12862, "Setting Customer Service Standards")

In 2001, the Division of Mammography Quality and Radiation Programs (DMQRP) initiated a second facility satisfaction survey to help evaluate and improve both the inspection process and communication with mammography facilities. (The first survey was conducted in 1997.) Results from the 1997 survey were compared with the new data.

The lengthy July 2002 report is complete and is published here in two segments. A cover note is included with each segment to provide background information and discuss actions we have taken or propose to take to address the concerns of respondents.
