Hello everyone!

I am in the process of revamping the MD QA review process for one of
my hospitals and I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing the data
elements that your physicians are reviewing for. We are currently
asking our physicians to review the following items on 10% of our
analytic abstracts:

1. Abstract completed <6 months after date of first contact
2. Histology and code
3. Primary site
4. Class of case
5. Method of diagnosis
6. First course of treatment
7. Margins
8. Demographic data
9. AJCC staging is complete and correct
10. Pathology report conforms to CAP guidelines

Looking at the current Cancer Program Standards, it seems that this
might be a bit much.

Thanks in advance for sharing your list!
