Book Description
A cancer registry is a system that monitors cancer cases that have been diagnosed or treated in one institution or a specific geographic area. A cancer registry usually collects information from medical records provided by hospitals, doctors, and other care facilities. The Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry (GBACR) consists of two components: (1) Registry Operations and (2) Surveillance Research. The Registry Operations Unit (ROU) is responsible for collecting and managing the data, while the Surveillance Research program is responsible for conducting research using cancer registry data and examining patterns of cancer incidence in the Greater Bay Area.

Enhancing Data Systems to Improve the Quality of Cancer Care

Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
One of the barriers to improving the quality of cancer care in the United States is the inadequacy of data systems. Out-of-date or incomplete information about the performance of doctors, hospitals, health plans, and public agencies makes it hard to gauge the quality of care. Augmenting today's data systems could start to fill the gap. This report examines the strengths and weaknesses of current systems and makes recommendations for enhancing data systems to improve the quality of cancer care. The board's recommendations fall into three key areas: Enhance key elements of the data system infrastructure (i.e., quality-of-care measures, cancer registries and databases, data collection technologies, and analytic capacity). Expand support for analyses of quality of cancer care using existing data systems. Monitor the effectiveness of data systems to promote quality improvement within health systems.
