Collection of Industry and Occupation (I&O) Data For Cancer Registry Professionals

Course Description

The goal of this training module is to improve both the quality and the quantity of industry and occupation information captured from hospital and clinic records in order to increase the value of using this information for public health surveillance and research with the ultimate goal of decreasing the incidence of cancers related to workplace exposures.

This module contains 3 parts:

  • Background on the importance of collecting information on the usual (or longest-held) industry and occupation of cancer patients,
  • Guidelines for collecting industry and occupation (or I & O), and
  • Examples of adequate and inadequate I & O entries.

There is a test at the end. All of those who complete this activity and pass the test (70% or higher) are eligible for 1.5 CEU from NCRA
