Caveats and Limitations

This indicator is based on OBSP and OHIP data, which have different data update cycles. As a result, mammography rates were underestimated during data periods when OBSP data was not yet available. In addition, in 2010 two additional OHIP fee codes were included to capture mammography rates. Historical data points from March 2011 through March 2013 have been updated to include the Ontario Breast Screening Program data, and to reflect the addition of OHIP fee codes (X175 and X178).
