PICO Plan of Care Population

The population selected comprises of Caucasian women who are under the age of 50. This population has been selected because they are more prone to breast cancer and require regular mammogram tests to be conducted. Jacobs et al.

Delivery of care is improved as the women would be more willing to consult or talk to a doctor at their comfort.
