We had a briefing today from a nurse involved in the National Bowel
Cancer Screening initiative (good election year stuff).
Of note, there is a national register to keep track of the people sent
screening kits who have not fronted up to investigate abnormal results.
We have to fill forms on paper to notify the register if we take any
action, so they knwo to stop hassling the patient.
Electronic functionality will be June/July (?i think) for lodgement on
a web site (without auto population of the forms from the clincial
softwaer) or for integration into the clinical software - which will
print paper to be sent to the register.
Electronic receipt of the pathology report result of the FOBT tests
was not envisaged - we expect a letter in the mail, even though the
provider can surely send HL7 path messages - I will follow-up this to
double check.
That would be good Ian since paper is no longer an acceptable format for
the transfer of pathology information in our surgery.
