Patient reminder for colorectal cancer screening.  
This reminder term is for findings that represent 3 values for occult
blood - enter a test in this term ONLY if it means that all 3 occult
blood tests are done.  Do NOT enter lab tests here that represent a
single occult blood test.
 
For example, if you use 3 tests in your panel OB1, OB2, OB3; then you can 
put OB3 into this reminder term.  If you have a computed finding for 3 
occult blood tests, then you can use that finding in this term.  Any 
single finding that when present would verify that all 3 of the occult 
blood tests had been done can be used in this term.
 
 
 
VA-MHV OCCULT BLOOD SINGLE TEST
Term for individual occult blood tests - in the reminder, the definition 
will require 3 of these findings to complete the colorectal cancer 
screening.
This reminder contains reminder terms for colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy and 
2 reminder terms for occult blood testing.  The reminder is resolved for 
10 years by colonoscopy, 5 years by sigmoidoscopy and for one year by 
occult blood testing.  These time frames are determined by the Custom 
Date Due field.

Anyone ages 50 to 75 should be screened for colon cancer on a regular
basis.

It is time for you to have a screening test for colorectal cancer (cancer
of the large bowel or rectum). There are several tests used for screening
for colorectal cancer.  These include a stool test, sigmoidoscopy, or
colonoscopy.  Having any of these tests can reduce your chance of
developing or dying from colorectal cancer. Talk with your primary care
team about which test you should have.
