Empowering healthcare providers to promote participation in Australia's bowel, cervical and lung cancer screening programs.
The NCSR offers a standardised interface that integrates seamlessly with clinical software to make the process of supporting patient participation in these life-saving programs easier.
By integrating your clinical software with the NCSR, you're not just improving practice efficiency — you're contributing to a nationwide effort to reduce deaths from bowel, cervical and lung cancer.
Why integrate with the NCSR?
Healthcare organisations using integrated software can:
- Access patient screening information and alerts: Stay informed with updates on patient screening status, including overdue and follow-up alerts.
- View and submit screening results: Including colonoscopy, colposcopy findings or radiology reports, ensuring accurate program participation.
- Order bowel screening program test kits: Directly to a patient’s address or record when you have issued one to a patient during a consultation as part of the alternative access to kits model (bulk orders are made through the Healthcare Provider Portal).
- Verify and update patient contact details and demographic information: To assist with maintaining up-to-date and accurate screening records and support improved reporting.
- View screening program-related correspondence: Stay updated with program communications to track your patient’s screening journey.
- Nominate healthcare providers or personal representatives: Assign a healthcare provider or personal representative to ensure comprehensive patient care.
