Extending the age range for breast screening in England: pilot study to assess the feasibility and acceptability of randomization.

Objective: To assess the feasibility and acceptability of randomizing the phased introduction of the extension of the invited age range in the National Health Service (NHS) Breast Screening Programme in England from 50-70 to 47-73 years.

Setting: Six volunteer breast screening units (BSUs) in England.

Methods: Cluster-randomized trial of invitation versus no invitation for breast screening.

Knowledge creation using artificial intelligence: a twin approach to improve breast screening attendance.

Knowledge management (KM) is rapidly becoming established as a core organizational element within the healthcare industry to assist in the delivery of better patient care. KM is a cyclical process which typically starts with knowledge creation (KC), progresses to knowledge sharing, knowledge accessibility and eventually results in new KC (in the same or a related domain). KC plays a significant role in KM as it creates the necessary "seeds" for propagating many more knowledge cycles.

Improving uptake of a breast screening programme: A knowledge management approach for opportunistic intervention.

Reducing mortality from breast cancer through screening has been accepted as a viable tool and breast screening has attracted a lot of attention from healthcare organisations worldwide. Government funded screening programmes in Europe, the Americas and Australia have made good progress in diagnosing and treating breast cancer through effective screening programmes. The UK's National Health Service (NHS) National Screening Programme manages one of the biggest publicly funded breast screening programmes.
