Cancer Registry Operations & Procedures: Unit Review and Quiz

 

Unit Review

Here is what we have learned from this unit:

  • The focus of the hospital-based (institution-based) cancer registry is on clinical care and hospital administration.
  • Two sub-categories under hospital-based (institution-based) registries are single hospital (single institution) registries and collective (multi-institution) registries.
  • While the primary goal of the single hospital (institution) registry is to improve patient care by medical audit-type evaluation of outcomes, the primary goal of collective (multi-institution) registries is to improve patient care by supporting institutional registries with common standards and pooled data.
  • Population-based registries record all new cases in a defined population (such as a state) with an emphasis on epidemiology and public health.
  • Data from population-based registries can be used for monitoring the distribution of late-diagnosed cancer cases of the types for which early diagnoses is the strategy for control, especially, communities, ethnicities, age and other demographic groups.
