National Cancer Screening Register

Clinical software integration

 

The National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) integration is designed to streamline workflows for healthcare organisations, allowing you to access and report patient clinical information for the bowel, cervical and lung cancer screening programs directly from the software you use every day.

 

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.
