Usage in National VA-WH PAP SMEAR SCREENING reminder: 
     
This term is used in WH reminders to inactivate Mammogram screening until
reminder term, VA LIMITED LIFE EXPECTANCY.  Add any local health factors 
a clinician indicates/selects findings for 1Y, 2Y or 3Y that override 
the inactivation.  This term is also used to reactivate the Mammogram
screening reminder in the event the patient flagged as a terminal cancer
patient lives beyond a year or was flagged as terminal in error.
 
Sites may prefer to use local LIMITED LIFE EXPECTANCY health factors 
and add their health factors to other frequency reminder terms which cause
the PAP Smear Screening reminder to be due without requiring a 
clinician to select a finding to reactivate the reminder. (e.g., Add the
local life expectancy health factor for "local LIFE EXPECTANCY 1Y" to the
or other findings that indicate the patient has a limited life expectancy.
VA-WH MAMMOGRAM SCREEN FREQ - 1Y reminder term.)
 
Use the findings distributed with this reminder term or map any local
findings that indicate that screening for breast cancer is not indicated
for this patient.
 
This term is distributed with mapping to the following health factors:
