The FOBT (Faecal occult blood test) tab provides 2 subtabs:

• FOBT Last Recorded

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*.

• 
  
• FOBT Orders and results

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:

• FOBT Order and result - an FOBT test result has been received in the last 12 months with an order recorded within 6 months prior
• FOBT Order only - an FOBT order has been recorded but no result has been received
• FOBT Result only - an FOBT order has been received but no order is recorded
• 
  

This graph allows the clinician to follow up patients who have had an order placed but where a result has not been received.
* The FOBT category of 'Ineligible' includes patients that are no longer required to have an FOBT test because they have a coded condition that implies exclusion. Check the mappings for your clinical system.

FOBT Mappings with clinical systems

The FOBT smear mappings are provided in the 'General Data Mappings' Appendices for each clinical application.
