At CHAMPS Oncology, the emphasis is on high-quality d<strong>at</strong>a <strong>and</strong> not quantity. The certified tumor registrar is<br />
continually educ<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>and</strong> evalu<strong>at</strong>ed to provide accur<strong>at</strong>e clinical document<strong>at</strong>ion. The true function of any cancer<br />
registry is to integr<strong>at</strong>e each p<strong>at</strong>ient’s disease diagnosis <strong>and</strong> course into an abstract summary. The abstract will be<br />
used by local, st<strong>at</strong>e <strong>and</strong> n<strong>at</strong>ional organiz<strong>at</strong>ions to construct p<strong>at</strong>terns <strong>and</strong> outcomes. Physicians use the d<strong>at</strong>a to<br />
develop tre<strong>at</strong>ment str<strong>at</strong>egies <strong>and</strong> identify care inconsistencies. The inform<strong>at</strong>ion is used to gener<strong>at</strong>e d<strong>at</strong>a for<br />
studies <strong>and</strong> provide a historical base for the best possible reporting results. <strong>Cancer</strong> st<strong>at</strong>istics must be reliable <strong>and</strong><br />
useful on all levels — for clinics, hospitals, governmental <strong>and</strong> other health agencies.<br />
Our medical abstractors <strong>at</strong> <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> System are educ<strong>at</strong>ed in medical <strong>and</strong> oncology practices <strong>and</strong> use a<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard d<strong>at</strong>a set <strong>and</strong> coding instructions to collect <strong>and</strong> interpret cancer inform<strong>at</strong>ion. The d<strong>at</strong>a complies with<br />
federal <strong>and</strong> st<strong>at</strong>e reporting m<strong>and</strong><strong>at</strong>es.<br />
By request, <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> System medical abstractors have added facility-specific fields to the d<strong>at</strong>abase<br />
<strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong>ed the inform<strong>at</strong>ion possibilities. Physicians <strong>and</strong> administr<strong>at</strong>ors have customized the inform<strong>at</strong>ion they<br />
want collected <strong>and</strong> rely on the certified tumor registrar to provide useful reporting methods. Physicians <strong>at</strong> <strong>Mayo</strong><br />
<strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> System in Eau Claire use the cancer registry limitlessly. To d<strong>at</strong>e, the facility is particip<strong>at</strong>ing in<br />
three cancer care programs: COC, NAPBC <strong>and</strong> QOPI. Multiple studies have been developed <strong>and</strong> continue to be<br />
a vital part of cancer care planning. Medical oncology has studies available on lung, breast, colorectal, prost<strong>at</strong>e<br />
<strong>and</strong> bladder cancers. <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> System in Eau Claire is a shining example of how to fully benefit from<br />
cancer registry d<strong>at</strong>a.<br />
Over the years, cancer registries n<strong>at</strong>ionwide have served to identify environmental influences, financial-rel<strong>at</strong>ed<br />
tre<strong>at</strong>ment connections, cultural tre<strong>at</strong>ment barriers <strong>and</strong> identified less invasive tre<strong>at</strong>ment options. A cancer<br />
registry provides accur<strong>at</strong>e d<strong>at</strong>a th<strong>at</strong> overall saves the p<strong>at</strong>ient <strong>and</strong> facility unwarranted medical costs. Ultim<strong>at</strong>ely,<br />
a cancer registry helps facilities to raise the bar for st<strong>and</strong>ard of care.<br />
The <strong>Mayo</strong> <strong>Clinic</strong> <strong>Health</strong> System/CHAMPS Oncology cancer registry is part of a combined effort to offer cancer<br />
p<strong>at</strong>ients the best optimum care <strong>and</strong> tre<strong>at</strong>ment outcomes.<br />
