Kent & Medway Cancer NetworkThames Cancer Registry Cancer Registration Dataset Pilot Nigel Brook
Background • “The overall objective (from Project Brief) is to produce, agree and implement a robust mechanism by which information can be recorded, transferred, linked, consolidated and aggregated for the purpose of cancer registration. “ • Milestones • July 2003 NHSIA joint project • November 2003 Proposals for pilots • July 2004 Interim report • August 2004 New version of NCRDS in line with pilot recommendations.
Cancer Registration Dataset- A Standards approach • Sub set of NCDS v 4.3(5.0) • Use industry standard messaging language • Develop in partnership with NHSIA (including funding) • Work closely with NPfIT Design Authority • Submit to Information Standards Board • Establish relationship with supplier to facilitate implementation at other sites
Kent and Medway Cancer Information Infrastructure Electronic Patient Master index EPMI Infoflex- cancer patient information chemotherapy prescribing Oncology patient management Pathology data • Cancer patient information system-Infoflex • Oncology patient management system-KOMS • Chemotherapy prescribing system • Pathology data warehouse
Strategy for implementation of the Cancer Patient Information System Waiting Times Data Collection Plus two streams of implementation Collection of the lung cancer dataset and collection of the gynaecology MDM and surgery dataset Accelerated program to support data collection at MDTs. Breast and urology MDM datasets to be followed by colorectal etc.
Progress to date • Live with waiting times – all sites • Lung design being piloted at Medway and will roll out July/August • Breast MDM pilot started mid April at Darent Valley. Will roll out Aug/Sept • Urology MDM pilot started in East Kent in April • Gynae pilot started end of April, first for MDM with surgery to follow
Cancer Registration strategy in Kent Current –Manual – paper based Interim – Shared data collection with KMCN using common system Future – Migration to full implementation of NCRDS
Progress to Date • Established system for extraction of data in XML format installed at Kent & Medway Cancer Network • Created message store at TCR • 10,000 records delivered to TCR for processing • Report ready for presentation to ISAB. • Development of CR screens in Infoflex
Quality review of first data delivered • Confirmed cancer cases • 828 cases matched with registry records. High degree of agreement on demographic details
Advantages • Less duplication of work • Initial data collection is more timely • Quality Assurance becomes a cooperative effort • Standard template for cancer registration data available on all Infoflex implementations • Rapid processing of data on arrival • Data validation rules
Challenges • Refine schema • Increase field and cross field validation • Work with network to standardise data • Roll out of Cancer Registration screens to other KMCN sites
Conclusion • XML schema is fit for purpose • It is simple to implement and rapid to process • If Implemented as an operational standard it will facilitate data capture for cancer registration
