NPCR-AERRO Hospital Operations Workgroup

The workgroup consisted of participants from the February 2006 SAMS. The purpose of the workgroup was to—
- Develop and deliver the hospital module of the NPCR-AERRO model.
- Create a best practice use case for each cancer registry function identified at the SAMS.
The workgroup met regularly to further the NPCR-AERRO hospital operations activities.

The workgroup reviewed and revised diagrams, developed guidelines and recommendations for enhancing hospital operations to use electronic reporting and automation, and collaborated on the development of an implementation strategy.
