You will play a vital role in our alignment with state requirements and national standards

• Ensuring quality and timeliness of case finding, abstraction, and follow-up functions according to departmental procedures and regulatory cancer case reporting guidelines
• Educating and training staff and case abstraction to support timely submission
• Assisting with cancer program accreditation and monitoring of compliance to accreditation standards
• Ensuring physicians receive accurate and timely data and/or reports
• Overseeing the reporting of all appropriate cancer cases to state and federal agencies to ensure proper reporting as required
