Written By Megsys Herna

After two years of having to cancel the Jean Byers Memorial Award recognition, FCDS is happy to announce that, once again, we are able to present the 2023 Jean Byers Award for Excellence in Cancer Registration to those facilities that meet or exceed the national quality standards for timeliness and completeness in cancer reporting. 

The Jean Byers Award is presented to any facility that meets the following criteria:

  • All Deadlines met with respect to cancer case admissions and all cases reported to FCDS: 

Annual Caseload Submission Deadline – June 30, 2022

Consolidated Follow Back Deadline – September 1, 2023  

  • No more than 5% (or 35 cases, whichever number is greater) of cancer case admissions reported to FCDS within 2 months (60 days) following the June 30, 2022 deadline  

  • No more than 10% of cancer case admissions reported to FCDS within 12 months following the June 30, 2022 reporting deadline
