Other Ways to Help Cyber Cancer Registry In practice, these modules can be used to enhance the education of newly trained cancer registrars and can potentially serve to satisfy part of the clinical practicum for NCRA-approved formal education programs. Each module will give immediate feedback to the student, track the training hours and provide a certificate of completion for each component successfully finished. The Cyber Cancer Registry will be built upon actual medical records, which will be used in all aspects of education. Request for Medical Records In an ongoing effort to develop quality educational programming NCRA is actively seeking scrubbed medical records. These medical records will be used for the sole purpose of creating educational materials such as virtual cases, classroom training and webinars. In addition to utilizing these medical records for various educational products, NCRA is currently working to obtain medical records for a project as a contractor with Northrop Grumman for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) developing a web-based Cyber Cancer Registry application that allows potential benefactors and stakeholders to obtain hands-on cancer registry practice. NCRA seeks to acquire a large quantity of medical records containing a variety of all types of cases. It is recommended that records be sent as they are collected. Multiple submissions are preferred rather than waiting to send all reports in one mailing. Copies of redacted records may be sent by FedEx or regular mail on paper or on CD. Due to the volume of paper and the process for finalizing the records for the repository, faxing is not recommended. If possible, it is preferred that electronically redacted records be submitted as an email attachment. Manually redacted records may be scanned to an electronic file for submission via email or on CD. PDF files usually work best.
