TI  - An informatics-enabled approach for detection of new tumor registry cases.
PG  - 19-23
AB  - Tumor registries are held to a very high standard for identifying and reporting 
      new analytic cancer cases. However, current approaches to new case detection are 
      often inefficient and costly. Efficient and effective detection of new cancer 
      cases has the potential to maintain a high accuracy of reporting while reducing 
      costs, increasing timeliness of reporting, and ultimately advancing cancer 
      research. We describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of an 
      informatics tool that integrates multiple data sources to support the workflow of 
      new case identification at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) tumor 
      registry office. The new system reduced the total number of potential cases to 
      analyze from roughly 13,000 to 2,500 records per month. This resulted in an 
      efficiency gain of roughly 80 man hours per month with a respective annual 
      savings of approximately 50,000 dollars. Further iterative refinement of this 
      approach along with support for case abstraction could result in further 
      efficiencies.
