Recipe Name: | QIM 9 – Cervical Screening |
Rationale: | Australia has the lowest mortality rate and the second lowest incidence of cervical cancer in the world. The success of the cervical screening program is dependent upon the recruitment of women. Higher participation in cervical screening means that more women with precancerous abnormalities can have these detected and treated, which is necessary for achieving the overall aim of reducing incidence and mortality from cervical cancer. |
Target: | Proportion of female regular clients who are aged 25 to 74, who have not had a hysterectomy and who have had a cervical screening (HPV test) within the previous 5 years. |
CAT Starting Point: |
|
The CV even risk report in CAT4 shows the risk level of patients based on the National Vascular Disease Prevention Alliance (NVDPA) guidelines: https://www.cvdcheck.org.au/australian-absolute-cardiovascular-disease-risk-calculator
The report will show the patients with all recorded values and their calculated risk and a second report will show those patients with incomplete data and which data items are missing. The second report in particular can be used to plan a quality improvement activity addressing cardiovascular risk and related measures.
| Warning |
|---|
| The criteria used by the NVDPA don’t align 100% with the improvement measure as defined above. The main difference is the inclusion of patients with a diagnosed cardiovascular condition (excluded by the NVDPA) and the inclusion of diabetes screening (Fasting blood glucose or screening HbA1c). We will work on providing an easy way to match up the QIM with our reports but recommend for now to use the report and filters described in this chapter as any improvement to the data shown in this report will affect the QIM as well. |
