Recipe Name:

Patients due to return to all three screening program in the next three months


Rationale:

This recipe identifies patients who have screened and are will soon be due to re-attend screening.

General Practice plays an important role in encouraging patients to continue to screen, practices can use this recipe to remind patients to continue to screen.

Target:

Female patients aged 50 and overdue for CST, mammogram and FOBT screening who were previously screened for all three

Recipe Limitations:

This recipe does not identify women who, following a Cervical Screening Test (HPV and LBC), are required to repeat a HPV test in 12 months (as per the screening pathway).  These women should be recalled as per your practice recall policy.

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.

RECIPE Steps Filters:

You can select the Gender/Female but the report will automatically show female patients as well as patients with no gender entered. This is the preferred approach, as it will include all patients potentially at risk including those without gender information entered.

Practices should review those patients for whom no gender is entered to ensure they are only sent appropriate cancer screening reminders.  Consideration should be given to keeping a register of transgender, gender diverse and intersex patients to support this process.
