Abstract
The management of cancer data is an expanding area of interest and employment for medical record administrators in Queensland. This is largely due to the software package and support network for hospital-based cancer registries that has been developed by the Data Management Unit of the Epidemiology and Prevention Unit in the State Health Department. The package is offered to any hospital interested in setting up and maintaining their own cancer data base and is completely compatible with the information requirements of the Queensland population-based registry. This paper describes the development of a hospital-based cancer registry system and the involvement of medical record administrators in cancer registry data management. (AMRJ 19(1), 6–8).
