Healthcare Provider Portal User Guide

The Healthcare Provider Portal

The National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) allows for a single electronic record for each person in Australia participating in cervical and bowel screening.

The intention of this guide is to assist users to communicate and interact with the NCSR though the Healthcare Provider Portal.

The Healthcare Provider Portal allows those with a provider number and a Provider Digital Access (PRODA) account to communicate with the NCSR in order to:

Search for a participant and view their test results and screening histories
Submit information and forms to the NCSR – cervical and bowel-related program forms
View and update your patient’s details
Opt out, defer or cease your patient’s correspondence for either for bowel or cervical programs
Nominate other people to assist your patient (such as a personal representative or another healthcare provider)
Request replacement bowel screening test kits on behalf of your patients
Bulk order bowel screening test kits to your practice to issue/reissue to your patients directly if they are never screened or overdue for screening, via the Alternative Access Model.

Please note, your access to what you can do on the NCSR will depend on what type of Healthcare Provider you will be registering and logging in as.

For further assistance, you can call the contact centre on 1800 627 701. The contact centre operates Monday to Friday, between 8am and 6pm in all Australian state and territory time zones.

You can also access our Quick Start Guide for the Healthcare Provider Portal, which provides a condensed version to the guide below.

1. Who can use the Healthcare Provider Portal?

Previously, healthcare providers (e.g. general practitioners, nurses, and other specialists) had to call the National Cancer Screening Register, or the relevant pathology laboratory, to request patient information relating to bowel and cervical screening.

The Healthcare Provider Portal provides another avenue for health professionals to access and submit bowel and cervical screening data electronically in the National Cancer Screening Register in a self-service fashion.

2. Accessing the Healthcare Provider Portal

This section will guide you through accessing the Healthcare Provider Portal for the first time, how to request delegated access from a healthcare provider, and how to approve delegated access as a healthcare provider.

2.1. Logging into the Healthcare Provider Portal

Logging in using PRODA

Before you register for the Healthcare Provider Portal for the first time, you will need a Provider Digital Access (PRODA) account.

PRODA is an online authentication system used to securely access certain online services including Health Professional Online Services (HPOS), National Disability Insurance Scheme, and the National Cancer Screening Register Healthcare Provider Portal.

For assistance with registering for a PRODA account, please see the PRODA Registration Guide or visit our frequently asked questions about PRODA.

Once you have a PRODA account, access the Healthcare Portal Login page
Enter your PRODA Username and Password and select Login

2.2. Accepting the Terms and Conditions

Read the terms and conditions, then select Accept.

2.3. Selecting the type of user you are

In order to use the portal, you will be a:

General Practitioner or other Specialist

Delegated access allows those without a Medicare provider number or STAN / RIN number to gain access to the NCSR with the permission of either a healthcare provider or a pathologist. An example of a person requiring delegated access could be a medical clinic’s administrative staff/practice nurse. This section will explain how to request this access, and how a Healthcare Provider Portal user can accept or reject these requests for access.

3.1. Requesting delegated access

Once you have chosen “I am a practice / lab staff acting on behalf of a healthcare provider” and clicked Select,

Enter the provider number of the healthcare provider you would like to request access from and select Submit.
The request will display as pending until the Healthcare Provider has accepted your request.

You will then be automatically logged out. You will need to contact the approving healthcare provider and ask them to logon to the Healthcare Provider Portal to approve your request. Once your delegate access has been approved you will be able to successfully access the National Cancer Screening Register Healthcare Provider Portal.

3.2. Approving delegated access as a healthcare provider

View how to navigate to the Submit Forms page in the Healthcare Provider Portal.

5.2. Alternative Access to Kits Model

The Alternative Access to Kits Model allows health professionals to give bowel screening kits to their patients directly. By healthcare providers recommending and explaining the test, it can help to remove barriers to screening for some people.

The Healthcare Provider Portal enables you to:

bulk order bowel screening test kits (iFOBT) directly to your practice;
record when you have issued/reissued a kit within a patient record, and
view notifications when your patient hasn’t returned a kit so you can encourage them to complete the test.

Bulk ordering bowel screening test kits

At the top of the Healthcare Provider Portal page, select iFOBT Bulk Order.

Before ordering kits for the first time, you must complete some short training to understand the Alternative Access to Kits model and your role in it.

Once you’ve done the training, click on Start order.

The Portal will pre-populate several fields, however you will need to enter your clinic name and phone number.

While the address of the clinic will pre-populate, a different delivery address can be entered (which won't change the address held in Medicare, it will just be for this order).

Next, select the number of kits you want to order:

They’re ordered in batches of 10, with the recommended number, per provider, being no more than 30 kits.
More can be ordered if you have a large eligible patient base.
You will also be asked how many healthcare providers the request is for, how many kits you have in stock, and if you do have kits in stock, whether any are expiring within four weeks.
If you order over 40 kits per provider, you will be asked for a reason.

Click Next.

Then confirm your order by checking the acknowledgement and clicking Submit.

The next page will display your order confirmation. A tracking number will be displayed on the iFOBT Bulk Order page within 10 business days.

Issue/reissue kits directly to your patients

Under the forms tab in the participant’s Bowel record, select the NBCSP – Alternative Access Model (Issue/Re-Issue kit) form.

You will then need to complete two key steps prior to issuing your patient a bowel screening program test kit:

Review your patient’s details held in the NCSR and update accordingly.
Print the Participant Details form for your patient to sign and include with their samples in the reply-paid envelope

When reviewing your patient’s details, the following information will be displayed:

Participant Details
Nominated Provider
Personal Representative
Indigenous and Country of Original Details
Self-care, Mobility and Communication Details (new optional section only displayed as part of the Alternative Access Model (Issue/Re-issue kit).

Ensure these details are as accurate as possible. Information from these sections will pre-populate the Participant Details Form.

After submitting the Alternative Access Model (Issue/Re-Issue Kit) form, a new tab will display the pre-populated Participant Details Form. Print this form for the patient to sign and return with their samples.

If you need to re-print the Participant Details Form, navigate to your patient's profile, select the Bowel program, then Forms, then select Re-print Participant Details Form.

This option will only be displayed for participants who have been given a kit via the Alternative Access Model. If the participant’s details are different to what is in the Register, you will be able to update them once you have selected the Re-print button before printing the form.

These details will pre-populate the newly generated Participant Details Form.

6. Managing your patient's information and participation
