Outpatient Clinic Reporting:Understanding the Landscape and Establishing Reporting Processes Andrea Sipin-Baliwas Los Angeles Cancer Surveillance Program University of Southern California NAACCR/IACR Meeting June 11, 2019 Vancouver, Canada
EVOLVING LANDSCAPE • Delivery of cancer care is no longer exclusive to the hospital setting • Organizations are exploring ancillary revenue streams • Private practices are being acquired by larger entities • Advocacy for improving access to care • Cancer becomes a chronic disease
EVOLVING LANDSCAPE • Other reasons contributing to migration of care to clinics: • Availability of infusion pumps for chemotherapy • Antiemetic medication • Development of other targeted cancer therapies
EVOLVING LANDSCAPE • Other entity in LAC with 10 outpatient clinics • Multi-specialty • Hematology/Oncology • Dermatology/Internal Med • Infusion Center • Radiology/Surgery/Transplant
PURPOSE • We aim to thoroughly evaluate the underreporting of cancer treatment data and incident cancer cases seen at free standing medical oncology clinics and establish reporting processes for this evolving landscape.
BACKGROUND • Partnered with City of Hope (COH) as they acquired new outpatient clinics in LAC • Case year 2016 2216 patients • 8 facilities in Los Angeles County (LAC) • Full-service cancer centers • Radiation facilities • Medical oncology centers
METHODS *Secure Web Portal for data exchange
CASE DISTRIBUTION – NEW CASES • Missed cases for 15 different cancer sites • Most common: • 1) Prostate 2) Heme 3) Breast
CASE DISTRIBUTION – TREATMENT ONLY • Missed treatment for 21 different cancer sites • Most common: • 1) Breast 2) Heme 3) Ovarian
EVOLVING LANDSCAPE MISSING TREATMENT
EVOLVING LANDSCAPE REPORTING PROCESS • Created a new reporting source for the clinics • COH is responsible for reporting cases starting with 2017 • Additional staff for increasing efforts • 10 FTE requested • Registry will be the follow back contact • Establish expected caseload over time • Continue to open clinics and enter into partnerships
CONCLUSION • Complete case capture is increasingly challenging • Linkages are an important resource (i.e. SEER pharmacy linkage) • Underreporting of Prostate cases • Significant underreporting of Chemotherapy, Radiation Tx, Multiple Modalities • Need to keep up with new reporting sources and establish reporting relationships • State policies will help enforce reporting requirements • Ensure complete electronic pathology reporting (AB 2325)
