Resources For Reporting Hospitals

The following reports are available for download in either PDF or Microsoft Word format. You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print PDF files. Microsoft Word format requires either Microsoft Word or the free Microsoft Word Reader.

Requirements:

According to state law, all hospitals that diagnose or treat a patient with cancer are required to report the case within 6 months of seeing the patient. Hospitals are the backbone of cancer surveillance, reporting 95-98% of all cases diagnosed in Maine. Complete, timely, and accurate reporting is essential for producing accurate state and national cancer statistics.

Educational Opportunities:

As upcoming educational opportunities arise, MCR will post the information here.
