Areas of action

The challenge

Healthcare facilities providing cancer care face challenges in proper information recording, particularly with low compliance in hospital-level cancer registries, which form the basis for Arequipa’s population-based cancer registry. This results in underreporting, poor data quality, and delays in cancer-related data analysis.

Public healthcare oncology services lack electronic medical records, further impacting the quality and timeliness of patient information management.

The goal

Implement a standard operational manual for hospital cancer registries in all healthcare facilities with oncology services in Arequipa.

Develop a roadmap for introducing electronic cancer medical records across the public sector to strengthen information and data generation systems.

The How

Collaborate with hospitals providing oncology services to coordinate activities with their epidemiology and statistics departments.

Work with Arequipa’s Population-Based Cancer Registry to identify and implement strategies to strengthen the registry.
