Alternate Name Item # Length Source of Standard Column #
OBR-7 Observation Date/Time #00241 (HL7)
Path--Date Spec Collection
7322 14 HL7 4792 - 4805
Description
Records the date and time the specimen for the report on the cancer was collected, not the date read, interpreted or typed.
 
This is a field to record when specimens are collected; can be used as approximate date of diagnosis in absence of other information. HL7 OBR-7 records the date and time (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS). NAACCR records the date (YYYYMMDD).

This data item accommodates only one path report; if additional path reports were prepared, enter the date the specimen was collected in Path Date Spec Collect No 4 through Path Date Spec Collect No 5 [7323-7324]. Information in this data item should refer to the path report described in data items 7012, 7092, 7102, 7192, and 7482.

Rationale
Cancer registries collect cancer information from various sources including pathology laboratories. Pathology reports of different types may be sent via HL7 messages. Included here are data items coming from such a message to be included in the cancer registry database to aid in consolidating a cancer case when there is information from multiple sources. Traditionally, these data items were not part of the NAACCR Standards Volume II record layout and therefore provide a link to NAACCR Standards Volume V. http://www.naaccr.org/standardsandregistryoperations/volumev.aspx
