Software and ToolsRegistry Plus™Software Programs for Cancer RegistriesRegistry Plus™ is a suite of publicly available free software programs for collecting and processing cancer registry data. These software programs, compliant with national standards, are made available by CDC to implement the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), established by Public Law 102-515. The Registry Plus suite—Abstract Plus, CRS Plus, Link Plus, Prep Plus, Web Plus, Mapper Plus, Online Help, and Utility Programs—can be used separately or together for routine or special data collection. NPCREDITS—Tools for Writing Portable EditsNPCREDITS tools improve data quality by standardizing the way data items are checked for validity. CDC developed the NPCREDITS tools to implement NPCR. They are provided for free distribution to the public health community, and can be built into interactive data collection systems to achieve real-time field-by-field editing during data entry. They can also be used in batch-editing processes for data already collected. NPCREDITS supports three types of data activities
Data SecurityAll registries that submit data to NPCR should have a security policy that is specific to the needs of the registry and the organization in which the registry operates. This includes registries that are a part of a larger public health department, a university, or an institution that provides information technology support for several programs. The security policy of the organization in which the registry operates must meet or be modified to accommodate the specific concerns of the cancer registry. State Registry Application Portability Assessment 2005The State Registry Application Portability Assessment 2005 lists the software programs used by registries funded by the NPCR to collect and process cancer data.
