Good information to put before our facility administration!

not supposed to use the number of 350. This is an old number used in 1981 and
I've heard there is a study being discussed in regards to what hospitals are
doing just state reporting or have a full blown registry doing studies,
follow-up, complete abstracting. All of this will be taken into consideration.
For example in 1981 there were 41 data items per abstract and in 2006 we have
today over 200 data items. There were 10 or less codes to choose from for any
one data item in 1981 and there are now are 50 or more codes for each data item.
Also in 1981 there were 4 areas of the cancer program surveyed and now there are
9 areas surveyed. There were no specific standards in 1981 and we now have 32
standards. I did not compile this but someone else did and this person now works
for the COC.

Subject: [Cancer Registrar Group] FTE's



Does anyone have any ideas on how many FTE's per amount of cases is
appropriate to run an COC approved program?
