REVIEW PROCESS FOR REFERRALS, PAP SMEARS, BIOPSIES, AND MAMMOGRAMS
When referrals, Pap smear results, biopsy results, or mammographic studies are returned to the
facility, they are to be stapled to a blank Visit Profile and then given to the referring ractitioner for
review.
The practitioner shall initial the OPV Caregiver box and draw a line through either "Pap",
"Biopsy", or the referral type (e.g., Dental, ENT, Surgery) on the form as appropriate to indicate the
report was received and reviewed. When entered into the database, the item will be deleted from
that practitioner's listing of outstanding referrals/Paps/biopsies/mammograms.
Referral review process exceptions - Alcohol, emergency, and general practice referrals are not
included on outstanding referral reports, so the return visit 'cross-out' step is not equired. Such
referrals will be counted in the monthly totals.
