Description
A computer-generated code that best describes the type of registry generating the record; used when cases are pooled from multiple registries (a hospital-based registry reporting to a state should have a “3” in this field).
Rationale
Facilitates tracking of data sources when data from multiple registries are pooled.
Codes
1 |
Central registry (population-based) |
2 |
Central registry or hospital consortium (not population-based) |
3 |
Single hospital/freestanding center |
