CANCER REGISTRY
The Cancer Registry uses a data system called Precis Cancer Registry Data Management System which is designed to collect, manage, and analyze data on patients with all types of cancer. Included in the database are every inpatient and outpatient diagnosed and/or treated at Southeastern Med. The data is then reported to national, regional and local agencies, who will help determine the most successful treatment options available to cancer patients in the future. These agencies are:
The Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System (OCISS) Much of the aggregate information is published in local, state and national reports, such as the American Cancer Society Facts and Figures. The Commission on Cancer designs Patient Care Evaluations (PCEs) to be completed by the Cancer Registrar and a member of the Cancer Committee. Patient Care Evaluation studies are nationwide studies of malignant diseases that are designed to describe the practice of medicine at the community level and to provide management and patient survival information. It is the purpose of the registry to provide information to interested qualified parties as part of the service of the department. Requests should be directed to Becky Wheeler, CTR from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. Annual lifetime follow-up of former patients is a very important part of the program. This is accomplished through letters to the attending physician or by letters or phone calls to patients and/or family members. The registry serves as a reminder to former patients to continue their follow-up exams with a physician. If you have questions about the Cancer Registry, need referral information or have questions about a cancer diagnosis, please feel free to call Becky Wheeler, CTR, Cancer Registrar at (740) 439-8156. |
