FCDS Achieves the NAACCR Gold Standard Certification (Archived)
FCDS is proud and happy to announce that the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) has recognized the Florida Cancer Data System nationally at the highest level of certification, NAACCR GOLD Standard Certification, with the November 2023 Call for Data.
Gold certification is only awarded to state and central cancer registries that meet the highest completeness, data quality, and timeliness levels in cancer registry surveillance. Additionally, our data will be included in the Cancer in North America (CINA), the United States Cancer Statistics (USCS), and the Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer datasets, publications, and research projects.
This is a remarkable accomplishment. It is a statewide team effort among the FCDS, the University of Miami, the Florida Department of Health, and all of our cancer registrars and cancer case reporters around the state.
FCDS would like to thank each of you for your hard work and dedication to our work. Through your efforts, you have made and continue to make Florida one of the top registries in the country.
