NPCR-AERRO Hospital Operations Workgroup

Purpose and Goals

The Hospital Operations Workgroup was formed after the Strategic Assessment and Modeling Session (SAMS) held in Richmond, Virginia, in February 2006. It focused on the automation of hospital health records and cancer registration processes as they relate to e-reporting.

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.

Activities and Timeline

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. Below is a list of products completed as part of workgroup activities.
