The FOBT (Faecal occult blood test) tab provides three subtabs:

A pie chart displays the % of patients with a FOBT Last Recorded in the following categories:
0-2 years, >2-3 years, >3-4 years,> 4 years, No FOBT Recorded, Ineligible*.


This report needs filtering for the appropriate age group as by default it will show all patients!





A pie chart displays the % of patients who are required to have an FOBT test (i.e. are not ineligible) and have had an FOBT test order or result in the last 12 months in the following categories:

This graph allows the clinician to follow up patients who have had an order placed but where a result has not been received.




The third tab, FOBT Summary Report Card, shows a summary of the available data broken down by all patients and active patients by age groups and time of test done.
