Department Personnel Officer
This is a request to establish the above entitled new class and posi-
tion (without offset) the filling of which will be subject to approval
of the necessary funds in the Fiscal Year 87/88 department budget,
The following background information is provided.
The mandatory reporting of all cancer cases was recently instituted in
California. In connection with that, the department's Medical Staff
seeks to put in place an American College of Surgeon's approved cancer
program. One element of such a program is a formal tumor registry
component. The other elements are a Physician Cancer Committee, regu-
lar (cancer) patient care evaluation studies and a Tumor Board
(physician cancer case conferencing). In addition to facilitating
mandatory state reporting, a Cancer Tumor Registry has other benefits
as outlined in the attached material dated 12/5/86. Accordingly, we
propose to establish this new class and a position to staff this
function.
Tumor Registrar is a recognized specialty .clerical occupation already
used in a number of Hospital Medical Record services. . In fact, they
have their own professional association which, among other things,
publishes a prototype job description and administers a national cer-
tification examination. Attached is some background material from the
National Tumor Registrar's Association (NTRA). Also attached are some
Job descriptions we obtained from Alameda County, Santa Clara County
and John Muir Hospital together with a recent salary survey from the
San Francisco Department of Public Health: We have prepared a draft
specification in part based on this resource material and are pro-
posing a salary level 5% below Accredited Records Technician which,
according to the survey data, should make us competitive for job
applicants. We would anticipate requesting an open exam as we have no
one currently on staff who meets the proposed minimum qualifications.
