Join NCI SEER for an in-person, post-conference symposium focused on data quality strategies that registrars can replicate to improve their registry’s data quality. Strategies to use while abstracting and coding and those to use following data collection will be presented. Organized in two parts, the symposium will address questions on quality improvement, how to ensure quality assurance for linkages, and ways to prepare for the collection of pediatric data. The symposium will also outline quality control methodologies used at the SEER Program that can be replicated locally. In addition, explore NCI SEER analytic tools for evaluating data quality from the perspective of data users. Specific tools, such as SEER*Explorer and SEER*Stat, will also be reviewed.

Cancer registrars are data information specialists who capture a complete history, diagnosis, treatment, and health status for every cancer patient in the U.S. The curated data provides essential information to researchers, healthcare providers, and public health officials to better monitor and advance cancer treatments, conduct research, and improve cancer prevention and screening programs. Learn more about how to become a cancer registrar and how cancer registry data is used to improve public health.
