Thank you. I will go into the NCRA website and see what I can find out. I
don't know why the registry is not valued more than it is. We collect
quality data and have multiple avenues that can be utilized in hospitals.
But we are always overlooked. Thanks again for the information.

I think NCRA has a work study document on abstracting standards, but it is
not current. Industry standards of 1.25 per hour for abstracting are
being used right now by outsourcing companies. As far as collecting the
date of first recurrence and disease status, why would the hospital not
want to collect the information? How are you going to measure the
effectiveness of the treatments and the outcomes?
