Unit Review (Suspense File)
Here is what we have learned from this unit:
- After identifying a potential case for the registry from
a casefinding source, the registrar processes the case into
either the suspense file, the master patient index file,
or the history file of non-reportable cases.
- The suspense file contains information on cases that are
potentially reportable.
- The suspense file can be maintained in at least two ways:
- 1. by entering the case into a computerized registry
data base, which has a suspense file designed into it;
or
- 2. by filling out brief identifying information on
a paper abstract, and filing it in alphabetical order.
- The suspense file should be reviewed periodically to ensure
that cases are completed promptly.
- Cases entered into the suspense file but later determined
not to be reportable are moved to the history file of non-reportable
cases.
- Reportable cases are eventually moved to the master patient
index file.
- When entering a case into the suspense file, registry
personnel should include data elements required by the governing
body.
Quiz

A multiple-choice quiz, including six questions, has been
created to give you an opportunity to reinforce what you have
learned.
Since the quiz is created as an incentive for learning, rather
than an objective evaluation of learning results, the score
of the quiz will not be captured and will not be recorded.
Feedback to your answer is provided instantaneously, so you
may select another choice if your first choice is not the
correct one.
These quiz questions are grouped into three sets (two questions
each) to reduce the size of the content on each page. When
