OMD Cervical Screening Tools – TELUS PSS

Last Updated: October 1, 2025

As of March 3, 2025, Ontario’s cervical screening guidelines have changed to recommend that individuals aged 25 and older undergo primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing every five years, replacing the previous Pap test protocol. This shift aims to enhance early detection and prevention of cervical cancer by utilizing the increased sensitivity of HPV testing.

OntarioMD (OMD) has developed cervical screening tools for Accuro®, OSCAR Pro and TELUS PSS to assist clinicians with identifying eligible patients and managing cervical cancer screening activities based on the new guidelines.

NOTES:

  • It is important to verify the accuracy of the patient list. 
  • Searches & Reminders:
    • Do NOT include criteria for high-risk patients.
    • Do NOT check for abnormal or rejected results – providers must flag these and follow up separately.
    • Do NOT account for special considerations or exceptions – providers must flag these and follow up separately.

Refer to the Ontario Cervical Screening Program (OCSP) Cervical Screening Guide for full details.
