This presentation discusses the high rates of overscreening in women outside age criteria at MIC, revealing that 13% of tests conducted in 2005 were on women aged 25-29, with a low positivity rate of 1.6%. A collaborative team approach was established to address this issue, creating a management plan, sharing information with healthcare providers, and altering exam protocols. Progress audits were conducted from July to September 2006 to measure the effectiveness of these implemented changes and ensure adherence to guidelines.
