“One of our practices took the initiative to send a list of the 134 patients who appeared as overdue for cervical screening in their system to the National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR). When they got the results back from the NCSR, they found that 73 of these patients had current cervical screening results recorded. This enabled them to update these patients’ files and focus their efforts on the remaining 61 patients who were overdue. It was a great result and an easy win for the practice.”
