Out-of-date or incomplete information about the performance of doctors, hospitals, health plans, and public agencies makes it hard to gauge the quality of care. Augmenting today's data systems could start to fill the gap. This report examines the strengths and weaknesses of current systems and makes recommendations for enhancing data systems to improve the quality of cancer care. The board's recommendations fall into three key areas: Enhance key elements of the data system infrastructure (i.e., quality-of-care measures, cancer registries and databases, data collection technologies, and analytic capacity). Expand support for analyses of quality of cancer care using existing data systems. Monitor the effectiveness of data systems to promote quality improvement within health systems. 606 $aCancer$xTreatment 606 $aInformation storage and retrieval systems$xOncology 606 $aMedical care$xQuality control 615 0$aCancer$xTreatment. 615 0$aInformation storage and retrieval systems$xOncology. 615 0$aMedical care$xQuality control. 676 $a362.1/96994 701 $aHewitt$b Maria Elizabeth$01472895 701 $aSimone$b Joseph V$01804481 712 02$aNational Cancer Policy Board (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971036603321 996 $aEnhancing data systems to improve the quality of cancer care$94359012 997 $aUNINA
