General Practice Victoria has developed an electronic decision support (EDS) tool for the identification of patients who meet the criteria for the screening of Cervical Cancer, Breast Cancer and Colorectal Cancer. This tool will be available in early December 2011 via the PrimaryCare Sidebar® and will provide point of care screening prompts for the three identified cancer screening groups and the recording of screening details where those details are not held in the GP CIS (i.e. Mammogram date and result).
CAT4 provides population based reporting for the tool under a new 'Screening' tab which contains three sub tabs for the various screening sections. These are:
- Pap Smear
- Mammogram (only available with compatible PrimaryCare Sidebar® functionality)
- FOBT
A Quick Reference Guide for this new tab is available with the CAT4 User Documentation at help.pencs.com.au/cat.htm
