I have extensive experience with various cancer registry software, including OncoEMR and SEER*Stat. I have utilized these tools to accurately capture and code tumor data, ensuring compliance with state and national reporting standards. My proficiency includes data entry, validation, and analysis, which has significantly contributed to the quality and completeness of the registry data.

I ensure accuracy and completeness by meticulously reviewing patient records, verifying diagnoses, and cross-referencing with pathology reports. I also conduct regular audits of the data to identify and correct any discrepancies. Additionally, I stay updated with the latest coding guidelines and participate in continuous education to maintain high standards in data collection and reporting.

To manage high volumes of data entry, I prioritize tasks based on urgency and deadlines. I utilize efficient data entry techniques, such as batch processing and keyboard shortcuts, to speed up the process. I also maintain organized records and use checklists to ensure no data is missed. Regular breaks and good time management help me maintain focus and accuracy throughout the day.

I collaborate closely with pathologists, oncologists, and medical coders to ensure accurate data collection. I regularly attend multidisciplinary team meetings to discuss patient cases and gather relevant information. I also provide training and support to clinical staff on data submission protocols, fostering a collaborative environment that enhances the quality of the registry data.

In my previous role, I encountered a situation where a significant data discrepancy was identified in the registry. I conducted a thorough investigation, reviewing all related patient records and consulting with the pathology department. Through meticulous analysis and collaboration, I was able to identify the root cause and implement corrective measures, ensuring the integrity of the data and preventing future occurrences.
