Notice ID: 36C10A24Q0050
The current VA Central Cancer Registry (VACCR) System uses VistA – OncoTraX to provide care to Veterans through all points of VA’s Veterans health care systems. VACCR receives and stores information compiled by local cancer registry staff from each of the 132 separate Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) instances. The information is obtained from a wide variety of medical record documents at the local medical center pertaining to each veteran cancer patient. Details collected include extensive demographics, cancer identification, extent of disease and staging, first course of treatment, and outcomes. OncoTraX has not been able to keep up with the increasing requirements for complex oncology standards and the Commission on Cancer standard for accredited cancer programs. OncoTraX is not compliant with current technological requirements set by other national cancer registry standards organizations such as the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer, and the American Joint Commission on Cancer, among others.
