Active OODH program 2006-2016 

The M-OHCUP (M-Outpatient Health Care Usability Profile) is an accessibility assessment tool designed for mammography clinics. It was developed to help healthcare providers evaluate and improve clinic accessibility, and it focuses on the needs of patients with physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities.  

Origins and Purpose 

• Development: The M-OHCUP was developed by OODH to provide a standardized, actionable framework for evaluating mammography clinic environments. 
• Core Goal: The goal is to identify barriers—such as architectural obstacles, lack of adaptive equipment, or communication gaps—that prevent patients with disabilities from receiving equal, comfortable care. 

How the Assessment Works 

The tool guides clinic staff and administrators through a comprehensive checklist assessing multiple domains of accessibility: 

• Facility Layout: Evaluation of parking lots, ramps, doorways, and restroom accessibility. 
• Mammography Equipment: Assessment of the specific machinery and its adaptability for patients with limited mobility or those who use wheelchairs. 
• Communication & Staff: Review of clinic policies, staff training on disability etiquette, and the availability of accessible information formats. 

Clinical Impact 

By implementing the M-OHCUP, clinics can pinpoint specific operational and structural deficits. This allows them to make targeted modifications, improving the mammogram experience and ensuring that vital, life-saving preventative health screenings remain fully accessible to everyone in the community.
