addressing those systems," says Reda Wilson, RHIT, CTR, and
Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Registry Management. "The NCRA
Journal of Registry Management is pleased that Impac Software
has, again, provided support for this award. The original
manuscripts selected are of great importance to everyone working
with disease surveillance systems by describing new educational
opportunities available to address CTR workforce issues and
assuring qualified cancer registry professionals, and by
describing methods in which cancer registry data are used to
evaluate cancer patterns of care."
