SCCRS Exclusion Message

SCCRS sends exclusion messages for patients whom it is deemed inappropriate to call for cervical cytology screening:

The SCCRS exclusion message consists of:

• Exclusion Reason - The reason why the patient should be excluded from the recall system. There are two ways the exclusion reason can be given:
  • Free text
  • Read code - The only exclusion Read coded is 9O8S. Cervical Smear Defaulter, a Medical History alert is also generated and displays on the Alerts pane.
• Exclusion Date - The commencement date of the exclusion period, and the commencement date of a Data Entry Caution.
• Exclusion End Date - The next recall due date which also ends the Data Entry Caution time period.
• Extended - Not used.
• Closed - If Yes, the previous data entry caution is closed.
• Next Recall Date - A new recall entry for the next smear due is created.

When trying to enter a recall or smear data during an exclusion period, you are prompted with a Data Entry Caution.
