monitor the impact of cancer screening quality improvement activities on their cervical cancer screening participation rates [i] Cancer Institute NSW: About cervical screening, 11/18 update. https://www.cancer.nsw.gov.au/cervical-screening-nsw/about-cervical-screening (cited: Jan 2019) |
Target: | The proportion of active female patients aged between 25 and 74 years of age who have had a Pap test in the previous 2 years OR a Cervical Screening Test in the previous 5 years Numerator: The number of active female patients aged between 25 and 74 years of age who have had a Pap test in the previous 2 years OR a Cervical Screening Test in the previous 5 years Denominator: The number of active female patients aged between 25 and 74 years of age who are eligible for the National Cervical Screening Program |
Recipe Limitations: | This report excludes patients with a number of conditions, including hysterectomy, under the 'ineligible’ category. Practices should be aware of the diagnosis codes that PEN uses to assign patients to ‘ineligible’. Practices should undertake periodic clinical review of patients in the ‘ineligible’ category to assess if any of these patients should return to screening. Your practice may have patients that you consider clinically ineligible for screening that are not captured by these diagnosis codes. These patients should be manually opted out of screening. |
