Beginning January 1, 2010 new reportability requirements for the data collection and reporting of hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms go into effect. The Hematopoietic Working Group (SEER) have developed the new rules and an electronic database that cancer registrars will be able to download and use.
Casefinding for heme and lymphoid neoplasms can be confusing given the variation in how physicians and pathologists document the diagnosis and treatment process for their patients. However, the cancer registrar can now take advantage of some new educational presentations developed by SEER to understand the requirements more fully.
By clicking here you will be redirected to the SEER website and links to the educational presentations. Presentations have been approved for CEU credits and additional presentations will be posted by SEER through December, 2009.
Tell you friends and fellow registrars about this new program!
Cancer Registrars are the cancer information experts working with healthcare providers, hospitals, and clinics around the world. You find registrars in hospitals, clinics, surgery centers and other facilities where cancer patients are diagnosed and treated. While they are not usually public figures, you hear about the results of their work on the radio, in our newspapers and magazines. They are valuable, contributing members in today's healthcare who deserve much more than they receive!
