NPCR-AERRO Central Cancer Registry Workgroup
Purpose and Goals
The Central Cancer Registry (CCR) Workgroup was formed after the Strategic Assessment and Modeling Session (SAMS) held in Atlanta, Georgia, in March 2006. Regional and state registries were the main participants.

- Requirements Findings for Central Cancer Registry SAMS, October 2006 [PDF-129KB]
The workgroup consisted of participants from the March and October 2006 SAMS. The purpose of the workgroup was to—
- Develop the CCR module of the NPCR-AERRO model.
- Create a best practice use case for each cancer registry function identified at the SAMS.
- Review and revise the diagrams.
- Develop guidelines and recommendations.
- Help develop an implementation strategy.
The workgroup met regularly to further the NPCR-AERRO central cancer registry activities.
Activities and Timeline
The workgroup reviewed and revised diagrams, developed guidelines and recommendations for central registries to use electronic reporting and automation processes, and collaborated on the development of an implementation strategy for electronic reporting.
