The Florida Cancer Data System has numerous technical resources available to assist the facility based abstractor, vendor and physician office with data submission editing and statistical analysis. Some resources were developed by FCDS personnel, some by other national agencies and individuals. Please download the files/documentation as necessary.
Certification of Completeness:
In order for FCDS to have a better assessment of hospital completeness, we have implemented a Certification of Completeness that will require each reporting facility to certify that they have completed their current data year reporting. The system will record the date of completion for reference and can provide a reflection of historical performance relative to on-time reporting. Demo recording
Each facility is required to certify their completeness by logging into the IDEA system, choosing Admissions Report /Certify Completeness under the Reports/Inquiry tab and following the steps to certify completeness.
We will be sending out reminders about the Certification of Completeness requirement as we get closer to our annual reporting deadline. As always, we thank you for your support.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email me.
Thank you,

NPCR and Registry Plus Online Help have given FCDS permission to distribute this Online Help file to Florida Registrars to load on their local hard drive
while the CSv2 cancerstaging.org website is revised and back-dated to CSv02.02.00. Normally this file would be part of the complete Registry Plus Online
Help system, but this single manual file in html help format will help FCDS and all of our Florida Registrars until the v0202 files are accessible again
on cancerstaging.org. The file contains the same information as was in the html pages on the
cancerstaging.org web site. The file is an executable component of Registry Plus Online Help, a product of CDC's National Program of Cancer Registries.
