Smear Results
1. Pathology Inbox
Things to check
- HPV status
- Cytology result (only done if HPV is positive)
- Recall
Go to the patient record and navigate to the 'Cervical Screening' node in the clinical tree.
This may look different as there are different clinical tree layouts depending on your job role.
Check that the incoming result matches the smear history and that the result is expected
You cannot add a result if there is one already
The info previously noted is required:
- HPV status
- Cytology (if done)
- Recall
- Slide number is a required field but not important. If there is a slide number enter it, and if not, just enter any letter or number.
- Screening result relates to the CYTOLOGY - which if the HPV status is negative, then leave blank
- HPV status is either negative or positive (choose the one with the 'QOF' icons)
- Recall is auto-calculated - depending on the age of the patient (based on the national cervical screening pathway).
This is for a different patient showing a different recall duration based on age 24-49 years old.
You can now see the result which has been entered.
Please note that a result cannot be added (option is disabled)
Once completed, return to result - pathology inbox - to file the report.
