Prep Plus

Prep Plus is a program for the central registry that receives North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR)-formatted abstracts from Abstract Plus or any hospital-based software that can produce the NAACCR record format, and incorporates them into the central database. Prep Plus—

• Logs in abstracts and begins a tracking system for incoming records
• Applies standard NAACCR edit checks
• Allows further visual inspection of submitted records and error correction
• Produces edit reports for transmission back to the facility submitting the data
• Allows incorporation of locally defined processing options

Prep Plus is not available for download from this site. Central registries interested in obtaining the program should contact cancerinfo@cdc.gov for more information.

Future Plans

• Add functionality to the query tracking database and link it to CRS Plus
• Notify facilities of errors in submitted bundles and allow facilities to view and correct errors online
• Implement usability enhancements

The Prep Plus Development Priority List is a list of development tasks prioritized by the NPCR Registry Plus development team. Each task is the direct result of meetings with the Registry Plus User Group (RPUG) as well as requests from individual cancer registries and leaders in the cancer registry field.
