HUMAN / STAFF RESOURCES• As reported by Daniel P McKellar MD, FACS,
Chair of the Commission on Cancer at 2013 Survey Savvy
• Based on a RQRS caseload of 161 cases a year, an increase of workload approximately equal to 0.7 abstract per day can be expected
• Upon surveying users, over 50% reported less than 6 hour increase per week

HUMAN / STAFF RESOURCES
NOTE: This is based on the initial 6 quality measures (3 breast, 2 colon, 1 rectal)

BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATION• Commendation for Standard 5.2
• Reports from NCDB/RQRS on cases that fall out of compliance with CP3R
• Ability to “catch” patients before they fall through the cracks
– Delay/Lack of referral– Delay/Lack of treatment

FUTURE OF RQRS
• 2013: Three (3) new breast measures will be added and the 1 rectal measure will be revised in CP3R program and will be reported in RQRS
• 2014: Four (4) lung measures, 2 gastric measures and 1 esophageal measure will be added to CP3R and will be reported in RQRS
• Minimally, this would mean 3 new sites would be reported via RQRS

12
FUTURE OF RQRS
• Additional measures being evaluated for CP3R include ovarian, endometrial, cervical, G/U, melanoma, sarcoma, and pediatric oncology
• This has the potential of 25 quality measures being reported via RQRS

13
FUTURE OF RQRS
• Minimally, this would mean 7 new sites would be reported via RQRS
• This would substantially increase the staff resources needed to participate in RQRS

FUTURE OF RQRS
Dr. McKellar also reported:
