National Cancer Core Data
The cancer sector has, for a number of years, identified the need for nationally endorsed data standards to improve health outcomes and the cost-effectiveness of care through more consistent and efficient management of health information. The National Cancer Core Data Business Process, Data Definitions, and Messaging Standards have been developed to provide a consistent approach to the collection and storage of core cancer data in New Zealand to meet that need.
The National Cancer Core Data Business Process document provides a contextual link between the Data Definition and the Messaging Standard, including a business model, key business processes and use-cases that provide real word examples of the business process.
The National Cancer Core Data Defintions document describes the full core dataset, including descriptions, source standards, data types, lengths, domains, verification rules and guides for use for each data element and models the inter-relationship between the elements.
The National Cancer Core Data Messaging Standard and Implementation Guide is the technical document which describes the structure and content of the message exchanges between sender and receiver, including mandatory, conditional and optional information requirements and the application of the elements described in the Data Definition.
