DESCRIPTION
VHA recommends screening for cervical cancer with cytology (Pap smear) 
VHA recommends AGAINST using HPV testing alone or in combination with 
cytology for cervical cancer screening in women younger than 30 years.
 
VHA recommends AGAINST screening for cervical cancer in women older than 
65 years of age if they have had adequate prior screening and are not 
otherwise at high risk for cervical cancer. 
 
VHA recommends AGAINST screening for cervical cancer in women who have 
had a total hysterectomy (cervix removal) for benign disease.
 
every 3 years for women ages 21-65 that have a cervix OR, for women ages 
This reminder does not apply to women who have had a hysterectomy where
the cervix was removed.
 
Evidence of a PAP smear completed will satisfy the reminder for 
up to 5 years, depending on the screening frequency specified by the 
clinician and the presence of HPV screening. The clinician can alter the
screening frequency for individual patients based on patient and family
history, and discussions with the patient.
 
PAP Smears completed will resolve this reminder and may be recorded as one
30-65 who want to lengthen the screening interval, screening with a 
of the following:
         Laboratory result matching Cytology or Surgical Pathology SNOMED
         Women's Health procedure result
         Health Factor (Historical outside PAP smear result) 
         PCE CPT procedure code
         Completed consult order for outside procedure
 
In patients ages 30-65 who have evidence of a recent negative HPV result 
and no prior abnormal PAP smear, the PAP smear will resolve the reminder
for 5 years.
combination of cytology and human papilloma virus (HPV) testing every 5 
 
Screening will be resolved by any of the following: 
          PAP smear obtained at this encounter (9 months) 
          Health Factor for an order for PAP Smear screening (9 months)
          Patient declined PAP smear (4 months) 
          Clinician deferred PAP smear (4 months) 
 
Clinicians may manage follow-up screening to occur every 4 or 6 months 
when PAP smear results are unsatisfactory, or if they feel screening 
should take place more often than 1, 2, 3 or 5 years.
years.
 
Management of an abnormal PAP is included in this screening reminder only 
if the clinician indicates what frequency is required for an individual 
patient.  A code for abnormal PAP changes the frequency to 1 year.  This 
1 year frequency if subsequently overridden if any other frequency is 
chosen by the clinician.
 
VHA recommends AGAINST screening for cervical cancer in women who are 
younger than 21 years.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Technical Description:
    facility, results can be recorded three ways to satisfy this 
           recorded and the status is not Unsatisfactory.
     
        VA-WH PAP SMEAR SCREEN IN LAB PKG 
           No mapping necessary.  This term represents PAP Smear results 
           documented in the Laboratory package. Use the new VA-WH PAP 
           SMEAR IN LAB PKG computed finding distributed with this
           reminder term.
           This computed finding looks for PAP smear results in the 
           Laboratory package where the Result Status that is not 
           "Unsatisfactory" 
    reminder: 
            
           This computed finding will only work if the Women's Health WV 
           PROCEDURE TYPE file entry for PAP SMEAR has SNOMED codes 
           defined that are used by your local Lab Service to document 
           PAP Smear results in the Lab Package.  The SNOMED codes need 
           to be defined regardless of whether the Women's Health 
           Package is being used.
     
       VA-WH PAP SMEAR DONE 
           No mapping necessary.  Use the new VA-WH PAP SMEAR SCREEN 
 
           CODES taxonomy distributed with this reminder term. This
           taxonomy is similar to the VA-CERVICAL CANCER SCREEN taxonomy
           distributed to the field with the first reminder package
           distribution. The new taxonomy should be used, instead of the
           VA-CERVICAL CANCER SCREEN taxonomy, because it does not 
           include codes such as Q0091 which represent PAP smears 
           obtained by the clinician.
     
           Use the new WH PAP SMEAR OUTSIDE health factor to document PAP 
           Smear results completed outside the VA when the PAP Smear 
        * Results, with interpretation, can be entered and verified
           results are not documented in Lab, Women's Health or Consult
           packages.  
     
        VA-WH PAP SMEAR OBTAINED 
           Use the new taxonomy VA-WH PAP SMEAR OBTAINED which contains 
           coded values that represent the clinician's actions taken to 
           obtain the PAP smear.  
       
        VA-WH PAP SMEAR ORDER HEALTH FACTOR 
           Removed from patient reminder.
          in the Lab package.
     
       VA-WH PAP SMEAR SCREEN NOT INDICATED 
           Use the findings distributed with this reminder term or map 
           any local findings that indicate a PAP smear screen is not
           indicated for this patient.
            
           This term is distributed with mapping to the following 
           health factors: 
              INACTIVATE CERVIX CANCER SCREEN (distributed with the 
                   first version of the Clinical Reminder package in 1996 
        * Results, with interpretation, can be manually entered into the
                   to inactivate the CERVICAL CANCER reminder).  
              WH PAP SMEAR SCREEN NOT INDICATED 
              VA LIMITED LIFE EXPECTANCY 
           and the following taxonomy: 
              VA-TERMINAL CANCER PATIENTS 
     
           Use in National VA-WH PAP SMEAR SCREENING reminder: 
           This term is used in WH reminders to inactivate PAP Smear 
           screening until a clinician overrides the inactivation by 
           selecting a health factor that is used by function findings 
          WH package.
           with frequencies of 1Y, 2Y, 3Y or 5Y.   Begin date of T-6M has
           been added to HF.VA LIMITED LIFE EXPECTANCY and
           TX.VA-TERMINAL CANCER PATIENTS so screening will come due
           again if the patient lives longer than expected or if the
           patient has been misdiagnosed.
 
           Updated September 2012 to include 2 new health factors:
             CERVICAL CA SCRN N/A PERMANENTLY   (no begin date)
             CERVICAL CA SCRN N/A 5 YRS         (begin date T-5Y)
     
        * Summarized results can be entered as a historical entry (health 
           Sites may prefer to use local LIMITED LIFE EXPECTANCY health 
           factors and add their health factors to other 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 6M" to the VA-WH PAP
           SMEAR SCREEN NOT INDICATED term).

           Use the WH PAP SMEAR DECLINED and/or WH PAP SMEAR DEFERRED
          factor or CPT code) in the patient record. Historical entries 
           health factors distributed with this term, or add any local
           health factors representing that PAP smear screening should be
           deferred.
     
        VA-WH PAP SMEAR UNSATISFACTORY IN LAB/WH PKG 
           No mapping necessary.  This term represents unsatisfactory
           PAP Smear results documented in the Laboratory and WH 
           packages. Use the new VA-WH PAP SMEAR IN LAB PKG computed
           finding distributed with this reminder term. This computed
           finding looks for PAP smear results in the Laboratory 
          should be based on reviewed results, not on patient comments. 
           package where the Result Status is "Unsatisfactory"
           
           Use the VA-WH PAP SMEAR IN WH PKG computed finding and the
           value "UNSATISFACTORY" to find unsatisfactory PAP smear 
           results documented in the WH package.
 
           This computed finding will only work if the Women's Health WV 
           PROCEDURE TYPE file entry for PAP SMEAR has SNOMED codes 
           defined that are used by your local Lab Service to document 
           PAP Smear results in the Lab Package.  The SNOMED codes need 
    Patient reminder based on copy of the national PAP smear screening 
         
           to be defined regardless of whether the Women's Health Package
           is being used.
 
    INFORMATION FINDINGS: 
    ---------------------
    Function Findings (FF) will be used to determine the frequency of 
    this reminder.  The following are information reminder terms that are
    used in Function Findings to alter the baseline Age/Frequency.  If the
    most recent resolution finding is a documented result, the frequency

       VA-WH HYSTERECTOMY 
           This reminder term represents hysterectomy related procedures. 
           It is pre-mapped to use the VA-HYSTERECTOMY taxonomy which was 
           distributed to the field in 1996. It is not used to alter the 
           patient cohort because it contains hysterectomy codes that 
           indicate the patients cervix may or may not have been 
           removed.  
     
       VA-WH HX CERVICAL CANCER/ABNORMAL PAP 
           This reminder term is mapped to the taxonomy VA-CERVICAL 
    package at the same time clinical care is recorded in CPRS GUI, thus
           CA/ABNORMAL PAP findings. This term represents ICD9, ICD0, 
           and CPT codes that indicate the patient has a history of 
           cervical cancer or a diagnosis for abnormal PAP.  Sites may 
           choose to only use documented diagnosis and procedure codes

           This reminder term is also mapped to the computed finding 
           VA-WH PAP SMEAR SCREEN IN WH PKG with a condition check for
           "Abnormal" used for the search. If PAP smear results are
           documented in the Women's Health package, the computed finding
    eliminating the need for dual data entry.
           VA-WH PAP SMEAR SCREEN IN WH PKG will find the most recent PAP
           Smear entry that has an "Abnormal" result. Sites can remove
           this mapped item if they are not using the Women's Health
           package to store PAP results.

GENERAL COHORT FOUND TEXT
Cervical cancer is a cancer of the lower part of the uterus, or womb. It 
  *  Women ages 30-65 can either:\\
       - be screened for cervical cancer every 3 years with a Pap test; or\\
       - for those who want to lengthen the time between screenings, be\\
           screened every 5 years with a combination of a Pap test and a\\
           test for Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
 
Risk factors increase your chance of getting a disease. The major risk
factors for cervical cancer are:\\
    *      Infection with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV)\\
    *      Having many sexual partners\\
is a slow-growing cancer that can take many years to develop.  In its 
    *      Having first sexual intercourse at an early age\\
    *      Infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)\\
    *      Smoking\\
 
If you have any of these risk factors, discuss them with your health 
care provider.\\
 
Cervical cancer screening tests (i.e. Pap tests) and HPV tests are 
not perfect at finding cervical cancer. Many changes found on Pap tests 
turn out to not be cancer, but you may need more tests to determine if 
early stages it usually does not cause any changes that you can see or 
cancer is present. Pap tests may also miss changes that are cancer, but 
this does not happen often.\\
 
Also, it is very important to continue to be screened for cervical cancer
even if you got the HPV Immunization shot because the shot does not 
protect you from all types of HPV.  Talk with your primary care team 
(PACT) or other women's health care provider if you have questions. \\
feel.  Pap tests can find abnormalities in the cervix that can be 
successfully treated before they turn into cancer. Also, when cancer is 
diagnosed early it is more likely to be cured. 
 
Most women ages 21-65 should be screened:\\
  *  Women ages 21-29 should have a Pap test every 3 years.\\
