Physician Reporting to a Public Health Repository – Cancer Registry
Physician Reporting to a Public Health Repository - Cancer Registry defines the data elements to be retrieved from the EMR and transmitted to the cancer registry or to a healthcare provider.
Physician Reporting to a Public Health Repository - Cancer Registry Recording
Summary
The Physician Reporting to a Public Health Repository–Cancer Registry Profile provides a means through which physician office EHR systems can report information on cancer patients to the public health cancer registry. A single, consistent method allows efficient and accurate exchange of information while reducing the burden on EMR system-specific or registry-specific implementations.
Benefits
The PRPH-Ca Profile facilitates the implementation of an automated electronic process for the identification and reporting of cancer cases, treatment, and outcomes from ambulatory healthcare provider EHR systems to public health central cancer registries. Automated electronic reporting is expected to reduce labor (for the ambulatory healthcare providers and public health central cancer registries, and increase the security, completeness, timeliness and accuracy of cancer surveillance data.
Details
<A few paragraphs, if appropriate, providing more details (mostly in user-speak, not tech-speak) on what the profile does and how it works.>
<If the user might be familiar with the mechanisms used by the profile, you can mention them here. E.g. Evidence Documents is based on DICOM Structured Report (SR) Templates.>
<If the user might have an appreciation for the problems addressed in the profile, you can mention them here, but keep it short. E.g. Mapping HL7 Order fields to DICOM Modality Worklist attributes can be inconsistent in the marketplace, so Scheduled Workflow provides vendors with more detailed instructions.>
Systems Affected
<List (in user terms) the types of systems they might expect to have implemented actors from this profile, e.g. RIS, PACS, HIS, CAD Workstation, etc. and for each, how it would participate.>
- PACS systems may store, manage, and/or display Evidence Documents.
- Display systems may query, retrieve and display Evidence Documents.
- Reporting workstations may retrieve, process and include details from Evidence Documents in reports
