Cancer Registry Management: Unit Review
and Quiz
|
Unit Review
Here is what we have learned from this unit:
- Data collected by a cancer registry should be useful on
several levels:
- The cancer registry records personal and medical information
necessary for planning and evaluating the patient's
case management.
- The registry data provides administrative information
for facility planners, cancer committees, and practitioners.
- When the data are consolidated by population-based
central registries, they are used by government and
private agencies for developing and evaluating cancer
control programs.
- Registries provide a rich source of data for investigative
cancer research.
- The goals of standard setters help determine what registries
collect and how the data are processed and ultimately used.
- The organizations of standard setters include WHO, ACS,
AJCC, CoC, NCDB, SEER, NPCR, NCRA, UDSC.
- Data sets are lists of variables collected to meet the
minimal requirements of the group's goals, often with an
additional list of elements that are recommended for the
most effective operation.
- Standard code categories must meet multiple data goals.
- Data edits test the logical effects of coding rules or
natural relationships.
- Even though an important consideration in the use of standard
code categories and procedures is continuity over time,
introduction of new or revised codes is sometimes necessary.
- Standards for data management procedures for hospitals
(institution) and population-based registries develop largely
independently, and have been defined by different standard
setters.
Quiz
It's time to see how much you have learned from this unit.
A true-false quiz 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 recorded. Instead, feedback to your
answer is provided instantaneously.
These quiz questions are grouped into several sets of two
questions each to reduce the size of the content on each page.
