Recipe Name: | Patients eligible for the NBCSP aged 50 years and 4 months or older |
Rationale: | Rationale from Sara |
Target: | Patients aged 50 years and 4 months or older with no recorded FOBT or no recorded FOBT in the past 28 months |
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. |

- In the “General” Tab, select the 'Mths' radio button and enter Start Age = 604 and End Age = 888 months. Practices should decide if they want to send screening reminders to active patients only. Population based screening programs target asymptomatic patients. You may have some patients who consider your practice their medical home who do not fit the criteria for being an ‘active’ patient. If required, select 'Active' to search for your active patients only.
