Outcome indicators

In addition to a role in benchmarking, registry data may be used to assist in establishing new research protocols and in determining market share by the hospital administration. The registry identified several issues which included the lack of physician office contact information, and time lapse for treatment completion.

Two potential issues were identified. With instruction for the pathologists and surgeons regarding these issues, this rate is expected to improve.
