D. Neither (a) nor (b) - ANSWERS--D. Neither (a) nor (b)
Examples of nonanalytic cases for a typical hospital registry include
A. Autopsy only cases.
B. Cases diagnosed elsewhere and provided only palliative care in
lieu of first course treatment at your facility.
C. Both (a) and (b)
D. Neither (a) nor (b) - ANSWERS--A. Autopsy only cases.
Non-analytic cases for a facility are defined as cases who were
diagnosed and received all of first course therapy elsewhere prior to
the date of referral to the facility. These cases include patients
treated for recurrence or progression of disease only, patients for
whom the facility provided only a treatment plan or a second opinion
regarding the diagnosis and/or treatment options available, as well
,2|Page
as patients diagnosed at autopsy, per death certificate, or who only
had pathology slides read at the facility.
Analytic cases - ANSWERS--those cases that were diagnosed at the
reporting hospital/ facility or received any first course treatment at
facility
class of case 00-22
Which organization provides the guidelines used by central registries
to determine the residence of the patient at the time of diagnosis?
A. Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program
B. National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR)
C. U.S. Postal Service
D. U.S. Census Bureau - ANSWERS--D. U.S. Census Bureau
Rules must also be established to determine who the members of
that population are. The goal is to have the central registry use the
same rules to establish a patient's residency at the time of diagnosis
as the rules used by the Census Bureau in counting the population. In
addition, a population-based registry must have rules for
determining residency of part-time residents, prisoners,
institutionalized persons, homeless persons, military personnel, and
students.
Updating casefinding programs that use either the ICD-9-CM or ICD-
10-CM disease indices to identify potential reportable cases should
,3|Page
be done annually and made effective for admissions during which
month?
A. January
B. June
C. October
D. December - ANSWERS--C. October
Updates to the ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM coding manuals are done
annually in October. Codes from these manuals are used to generate
a disease index that identifies the diseases and conditions diagnosed
in patients. To ensure that all reportable cases are included in the
disease index requested from facilities, it is important to review and
update required codes needed by the registry on an annual basis.
Casefinding timeliness in a central registry is determined by the
A. Planned use of the data.
B. Agency(ies) to which the central registry reports.
C. Both (a) and (b)
D. Neither (a) nor (b) - ANSWERS--C. Both (a) and (b)
The time frame for casefinding and reporting for central registries is
determined by both the planned use of the data and the agency to
which the central registry reports.
The purpose of central registry death clearance activities is
, 4|Page
A. To update mortality and other information on cases that exist in
the registry database.
B. To be used as a casefinding source.
C. Both (a) and (b)
D. Neither (a) nor (b) - ANSWERS--C. Both (a) and (b)
Death clearance is referred to as the use of mortality files to update
death and other missing information on cases that exist in the
registry database and to increase incidence reporting completeness
by using these files as a casefinding source.
What organization(s) obtain death certificates from governmental
vital statistics agencies for the purpose of identifying missed
incidence cases?
A. Central registries
B. Hospital registries
C. Both (a) and (b)
D. Neither (a) nor (b) - ANSWERS--A. Central registries
What is the correct order in which pre-abstracting activities are
performed?
A. Identify potential reportable cases; determine whether the case is
a new or separate primary; and gather source documents
B. Gather source documents; determine whether the case is a new or
separate primary; and conduct quality control on the data
C. Determine whether the case is a new or separate primary; gather
the source documents; and conduct quality control on the data
