LOINC description : Date of first patient contact, as inpatient or outpatient, with the reporting facility
for the diagnosis and/or treatment of the tumor. The date may represent the date of
an outpatient visit for a biopsy, x-ray, scan, or laboratory test. See page 81 for
date format. When Pathology Specimen Only (Class of Case 7, Type of Reporting Source
3) tumors are collected, the Path--Date of Specimen Collection [7320] from the pathology
report should be used for the Date of 1st Contact. If a pathology-specimen-only case
is followed by a patient contact with the facility for the diagnosis and/or treatment
of the respective tumor, the Date of 1st Contact is not changed. The date of the initial
pathology laboratory specimen collection remains the Date of 1st Contact. When Death
Certificate Only (Class of Case 8, Type of Reporting Source 7) tumors are collected,
the date of death should be used as the Date of 1st Contact. When Autopsy Only (Class
of Case 5, Type of Reporting Source 6) tumors are collected, the date of death should
be used as the Date of 1st Contact. Timeliness of abstracting (and reporting) is a
concern for all standard-setting organizations. Date of 1st Contact is one of several
data items that can be used to measure timeliness of reporting by individual facilities
to central cancer registries. For tumors that are not diagnosed at the reporting facility
(Class of Case 2, 3, or 4), the Date of 1st Contact [580] can be used in conjunction
with the Date Case Report Received [2111] to measure timeliness of reporting by individual
facilities. To accurately measure the timeliness of data collection and submission
of abstracts that are first diagnosed at autopsy (Class of Case 5, Type of Reporting
Source 6) the date of death should be used as the Date of 1st Contact since the diagnosis
was not determined until the autopsy was performed. Death Certificate Only cases (Class
of Case 8, Type of Reporting Source 7) are created only by the central registry. For
these cases, Date of 1st Contact should be filled with the date of death, and timeliness
for DCO cases should be measured by different criteria... NAACCR Data Standards and
