Mountain View, CA, February 12, 2001
IMPAC has just released a new addition to its line of registry
products. CansurFacs-Abstractor is a data abstracting system
designed to support central registries in the offline abstraction
of cancer cases for subsequent roll-up into a central registry
system. Now abstractors who do not have a full-fledged ACoS/CoC
approved registry system can submit the required reports to state
central registries in a safe and efficient manner.
CansurFacs-Abstractor meets the regulatory requirements for ICD-O
classification as well as requirements set by SEER, ROADS, TNM,
and NAACCR. “CansurFacs-Abstractor has all the attributes of a
traditional registry system; it’s easy to learn and use, it comes
with specialized screens that conform to specific state reporting
requirements, and it’s accepted by state and provincial central
registries in North America,” states IMPAC’s Senior Product
Manager for Cancer Registry Systems, Donna Getreuer, RN, MSN, CTR,
“but best of all, CansurFacs-Abstractor is a cost-effective
solution that allows registrars to make more efficient use of
their time. And when a registry is ready to seek ACoS/CoC/CoC
approval, CansurFacs-Abstractor is easily upgraded to the
CansurFacs Data Management System, a comprehensive registry
documentation and analysis system.
To ensure the integrity and safety of data, CansurFacs-Abstractor
includes comprehensive quality assurance features such as regular
online validation and correction, and extensive inter-field
integrity reviews. Additionally, CansurFacs-Abstractor’s user
security allows for different levels of data access depending on
the rights assigned by the system administrator. User security
levels include full access for users who need to modify and
maintain the database, modified rights for users who abstract
only, and minimal rights for users who only need to view data.
