Recipe Name: | Bowel Cancer Screening Participation Rate |
Rationale: | The ‘bowel cancer participation rate’ recipe will support practices who are participating in cancer screening quality improvement to establish and monitor the bowel cancer screening participation rate in their practice.
Establishing and monitoring their bowel cancer screening participation rates allows primary care providers to:
|
Target: | The proportion of active patients, aged 50-74 years, who have completed an FOBT in the previous 2 years Numerator: the number of active patients, aged 50-74 years, who have completed an iFOBT in the previous 2 years. Denominator: the number of active patients aged 50-74 years eligible for the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program. |
Recipe Limitations: | This report excludes patients with a number of conditions 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. |
