The FOBT (Faecal occult blood test) tab provides three 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 third tab, FOBT Summary Report Card, shows a summary of the available data broken down by all patients and active patients by age groups and time of test done.
