The National Cancer Registrar’s Association (NCRA) launched a new information series, titled “NCRA Best Practice Guidance Series” in April 2021. As the industry leader in cancer registry salary and workforce research, NCRA has teamed up with partner organizations to identify the needs, launch initiatives and coordinate studies that will promote outcomes. Much of this work has been designed to share national workload and time management data relevant for hospital- and central cancer registry based Registrars.

The NCRA Best Practice Guidance Series is the first of a series NCRA plans to release that will organize and deliver a structured set of information on a variety of cancer registry workforce procedures, management and activities to guide cancer registry operations and staffing needs.

The first resource to be launched in this series, titled “Why Your Staff are Your Top Resource When Considering Outsourcing Services in Support of the Cancer Registry” was released in April, 2021. Additional resources will be released as they become available.
