ABC’s of the Internet Cancer Registry Chetan Wasekar, MD; Jeannette Jackson-Thompson, MSPH, Ph. D Missouri Cancer Registry, University Missouri-Columbia, Central registries have an urgent need to streamline their work processes due to the numerous challenges registries face, including an ever-increasing volume of cancer data and the need to implement new reporting requirements while maintaining or improving timeliness, completeness and quality of reporting. This is where web-based data submission promises to help. A few registries, such as the Florida Cancer Data System and the New York State Cancer Registry, have already implemented the web-based process. The Internet offers a number of benefits. These include: 1. Pre-existing and inexpensive connectivity. 2. Abolishment or abatement of need for document imaging and associated costs. 3. Pre-formatted and legible data. 4. Application of real-time edit checks. 5. One-time application of NAACCR layout changes at the central registry server, rather than multiple applications at each reporting source location. 6. Increased compliance, since the data sources don’t need to purchase/develop reporting systems or worry about HL 7 issues. 7. Automation of data receipt, diagnostic coding and database updating. 8. Superior tracking. 9. Improvements in data timeliness and completeness. 1. These benefits imply a streamlined workflow and savings in money and time as well as improved data quality and completeness. However there also some bottlenecks that need to be tackled : 1. Security And Privacy: As data travels from one computer to another over the Internet, any of these routing computers can tap into the information. This poses a security and privacy threat to protected patient information. 2. Internet Access: Not all hospital and non-hospital data providers have access to the Internet. 3. Technical Expertise: Some registries may not have the required networking expertise to set up and maintain webbased reporting systems. 4. Initial Costs: Though the Internet is inexpensive, some central registries and reporting facilities may not be able to afford many of the currently-available technologies for protecting sensitive patient data. The Internet revolution has transformed many businesses. Cancer registries have yet to harness the power of the web, but we can begin to take the first steps. This project was supported in part by a cooperative agreement between the CDC and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) (#U 55/CCU 721904 -03) and a Surveillance Contract between DHSS and the University of Missouri. free template from www. brainybetty. com
