Published: February 2002

A Comprehensive Women's Center (CWC) is a concept designed to enhance the quality of both patient care and the care experience while increasing patient volumes to hospitals by detection of conditions requiring additional diagnostic interventions or therapeutic interventions. Expanding an existing Breast Center into a Comprehensive Women's Center attracts new patients by diversifying services offered from mammography and breast related services alone to providing services such as bone densitometry, cholesterol screening and even children's immunizations. A Comprehensive Women's Center also positions the hospital as the site of choice for women making healthcare decisions. The CWC will enhance the quality of women's health by increasing compliance with screening guidelines through ease of access and quality of services provided.
