Telstra Health has developed a portal for the National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) that is being integrated with clinical software systems Best Practice and MedicalDirector to allow healthcare professionals to access their patients’ bowel and cervical screening information from their desktop.

The NCSR is operated by Telstra Health on behalf of the Australian government as a register for the national Cervical Screening Program (NCSP) and National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP). It supports the programs by inviting, reminding and following up participants for screening.
