Transcript of SEER PATTERNS OF CARE
WHAT IS PATTERNS OF CARE (POC)?
•A population-based snapshot
designed to “assess the
incorporation of state-of-the-art
cancer treatments into clinical practice
and the extent to which cancer
patients receive such treatments”
Public Law 100-607, Sec. 413 (a)(2)(C)
Mandated in 1988
14 SEER REGISTRIES PARTICIPATED IN 2014
USES OF POC DATA
Describe adjuvant therapy use in a community setting
Practice patterns in communities Surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormonal
therapy in specific cancers Compare treatment modalities over time and by age,
race, and ethnicity
USES OF POC DATA
Effects of comorbid conditions Describe treatment by hospital characteristics Describe the usage of biomarkers and diagnostic tests and
compare their use by race/ethnicity and geographic region Provide additional data for analyses by linking POC data to
SEER Medicare files
Address quality control issues related to routine data abstraction
wordle
Site-specific cases
randomly selected
from CPDMS
Cases submitted to KCR
Cases are re-
abstracted per POC
Manual
Information is
entered into a POC
specific local
database
ALL treatment verified by reviewing
records or by physician contact
Data is de-identified and uploaded to a secure SEER website
SO…WHAT DOES POC COLLECT?
Much of the same information as the abstracted
case…..just sometimes in a
slightly different way or in greater
detail
POC VISIT
Hospital recordsMedical OncologyRadiation OncologyLegacy EMR systems/paper charts (if applicable)
Cancer is increasingly diagnosed and treated in the outpatient setting
PHYSICIAN VERIFICATION…and the path to all treatment
POC: WHAT’S NEXT….
69,212Adolescents and young adults (AYA) diagnosed
with cancer in 2011An estimated projection calculated by the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program using SEER 18,
