Best Practices for CoC Operative Standards 5.3-5.6 Webinar

May 30, 2024

The CSSP, CoC, and the National Cancer Registrars Association (NCRA) are collaborating to host a webinar on July 17 at 1:00 pm CT on the requirements for the CoC Operative Standards.

This webinar will provide oncology data specialists (ODS) with best practices and tips to support compliance with the CoC Operative Standards (Standards 5.3-5.6). ODS with questions on program expectations, case eligibility requirements, or how to pull lists for site visits should plan to attend.

Learning Objectives:

  • To understand the rationale, technical, and documentation requirements for the CoC Operative Standards 5.3-5.6.
  • To outline best practices for identification of eligible cases for CoC Operative Standards 5.3-5.6.
  • To define best practices with implementation of the CoC Operative Standards 5.3-5.6 to facilitate compliance.

The webinar will be available free of charge to NCRA members and will offer 1 hour of Continuing Education (CE), compliments of NCRA. The webinar will be recorded and available via NCRA for those unable to attend live. The recorded webinar will also be available through the ACS website, but no CE will be provided if viewed through the ACS.

Registration is available at NCRA’s Center for Cancer Registry Education. The deadline to register is Friday, July 12. Email your questions to cssp@facs.org no later than Friday, July 12.
