LOINC description : This variable codes the earliest source of identifying information. For cases identified
by a source other than reporting facilities (such as through death clearance or as
a result of an audit), this variable codes the type of source through which the tumor
was first identified. This data item cannot be used by itself as a data quality indicator.
The timing of the casefinding processes (e.g., death linkage) varies from registry
to registry, and the coded value of this variable is a function of that timing. This
data item will help reporting facilities as well as regional and central registries
in prioritizing their casefinding activities. It will identify reportable tumors that
were first found through death clearance or sources other than traditional reporting
facilities. It provides more detail than Type of Reporting Source. Coding Instructions
This variable is intended to code the source that first identified the tumor. Determine
where the case was first identified and enter the appropriate code. At the regional
or central level, if a hospital and a non-hospital source identified the case independently
of each other, enter the code for the non-hospital source (i.e., codes 30-95 have
priority over codes 10-29). If the case was first identified at a reporting facility
(codes 10-29), code the earliest source (based on patient or specimen contact at the
facility) of identifying information. If a death certificate, independent pathology
laboratory report, consultation-only report from a hospital, or other report was used
to identify a case that was then abstracted from a different source, enter the code
for the source that first identified the case, not the source from which it was subsequently
abstracted. If a regional or central registry identifies a case and asks a reporting
facility to abstract it, enter the code that corresponds to the initial source, not
the code that corresponds to the eventual reporting facility. .. NAACCR Data Standards
