Back-up Record System

The Back-up Record System (BRS) is a central database that contains a history of Pap smears and other cervical cancer related test results for the women who have had Pap smears or other cervical cancer related tests in South Australia.

The BRS:

reminds women and their doctors when follow-up tests are overdue
assists laboratory staff when assessing current tests
supports doctors in providing appropriate management according to the national guidelines.

Details on the BRS, the information that is collected and how women can ‘opt-off’ the system is available in the BRS frequently asked questions.
