I have extensive experience with various cancer registry software platforms, including SEER*Stat and OncoEMR. I am proficient in data entry, validation, and reporting, ensuring accurate and timely submission of cancer data. My background includes customizing data collection forms and conducting regular data audits to maintain high data quality standards.

I employ a multi-step process to ensure data accuracy and completeness. This includes verifying patient information against medical records, cross-checking data entries for consistency, and conducting regular audits. I also stay updated with the latest coding guidelines and participate in continuous education to enhance my data management skills.

To handle large volumes of data efficiently, I utilize advanced features of registry software for batch processing and automated checks. I also prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance, ensuring critical data is processed first. Additionally, I maintain organized data entry protocols and regularly review workflows to identify and implement efficiency improvements.

I maintain strong communication with healthcare professionals through regular meetings and updates. I provide clear guidelines on data requirements and deadlines, and offer support in understanding complex data elements. By fostering a collaborative environment, I ensure timely and accurate information flow, which is crucial for the integrity of the cancer registry.

In a previous role, I encountered a significant backlog of unprocessed data due to staff shortages. I resolved this by implementing a streamlined data entry process and training temporary staff to assist. I also prioritized high-impact data and worked extended hours to catch up. This proactive approach not only resolved the backlog but also improved future data processing efficiency.
