Description
Date the electronic abstract is initiated in the reporting facility's cancer registry database. See Chapter X for date format. Standard edits check that no dates are later than the current date or the date completed.
Rationale
This item is used to assess and monitor the timeliness of reporting. Timeliness of abstracting (and reporting) is a concern for all standard-setting organizations and consequently, timeliness standards have been established. Examples of use are as follows:
This item can be used with the Date of 1stContact [580] to measure timeliness of abstracting by individual reporting facilities
This item can be used with Date Case Report Exported [2110] to determine the “residency time” of a case report within a reporting facility’s database prior to data transmission to a central cancer registry
This item can be used with Date Case Report Received [2111] to monitor central registry timeliness in entering case reports (for case reports abstracted in-house from hardcopy provided by a reporting facility)
This item can be used with Date Case Completed [2090] to monitor timeliness of case report completion
