I Am A Cancer Program Registrar

Cancer registrars play an essential role in capturing, managing, and analyzing oncology patient data.  The American Cancer Registry Association notes that the information housed in the cancer registry is utilized “by researchers, healthcare providers, and public health officials to monitor and advance cancer treatments, conduct research, and improve cancer prevention and screening programs.”

ACCC is pleased to offer select curated content  focused on the cancer registry and the evolving role of the registrar, contributed by cancer registrars, administrators, industry experts, and others involved in the operations and management aspects of cancer care delivery.

Optimizing Electronic Health Records 

This ACCC education project focused on helping cancer programs optimize their use of EHRs to meeting the growing need for accurate, integrated, comprehensive data capture and analysis. A combination of focus groups, a survey, and site visits provide insight on effective tactics for overcoming common challenges and barriers to EHR use for data analysis, care coordination, and quality reporting.


Health Literacy: From Assessment to Action

For this project, ACCC developed a health literacy gap assessment tool based on the Institute of Medicine (IOM, now named the National Academy of Medicine) Roundtable on Health Literacy's 10 attributes of a health literate healthcare organization. Read "Health Literacy: From Assessment to Action" to learn more about the assessment tool, three different approaches to completing the assessment by ACCC-member programs, what they learned from the process, and how they intend to apply the results in planning the steps to take their cancer program health literacy to the next level.
