LOINC description : This variable codes the source documents used to abstract the majority of information
on the tumor being reported. This may not be the source of original case finding (for
example, if a case is identified through a pathology laboratory report review and
all source documents used to abstract the case are from the physician's office, code
this item 4). The code in this field can be used to explain why information may be
incomplete on a tumor. For example, death certificate only cases have unknown values
for many data items, so one may want to exclude them from some analyses. The field
also is used to monitor the success of non-hospital case reporting and follow-back
mechanisms. All population-based registries should have some death certificate-only
cases where no hospital admission was involved, but too high a percentage can imply
both shortcomings in case-finding and that follow-back to uncover missed hospital
reports was not complete. Coding Instructions Code in the following priority order:
1, 2, 8, 4, 3, 5, 6, 7. This is a change to reflect the addition of codes 2 and 8
and to prioritize laboratory reports over nursing home reports. The source facilities
included in the previous code 1 (hospital inpatient and outpatient) are split between
codes 1, 2, and 8. This data item is intended to indicate the completeness of information
available to the abstractor. Reports from health plans (e.g., Kaiser, Veterans Administration,
military facilities) in which all diagnostic and treatment information is maintained
centrally and is available to the abstractor are expected to be at least as complete
as reports for hospital inpatients, which is why these sources are grouped with inpatients
and given the code with the highest priority. Sources coded with '2' usually have
complete information on the cancer diagnosis, staging, and treatment. Sources coded
with '8' would include, but would not be limited to, outpatient surgery and nuclear
medicine services. A physician's office that calls itself a surgery center should
be coded as a physician's office. Surgery centers are equipped and staffed to perform
surgical procedures under general anesthesia. If a physician's office calls itself
a surgery center, but cannot perform surgical procedures under general anesthesia,
code as a physician office... NAACCR Data Standards and Data Dictionary Version 11;
