Turn registry data into meaningful insights, outcomes, and executive-level impact.

About:

The Cancer Registry Value Reports & Executive Summaries Toolkit was developed to help cancer registries clearly communicate their impact on patient care, program performance, and organizational decision-making.

Report examples featured in the “Show Me The Data” presentation provide real-world context for how registry data can be translated into meaningful insights that resonate with leadership, support accreditation efforts, and drive quality improvement initiatives.

Too often, registry data remains underutilized beyond compliance and reporting. This toolkit offers practical, ready-to-use resources designed to help registrars move beyond data collection and into strategic storytelling.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A Cancer Registry Value Report example showcasing how to present key metrics such as data quality, timeliness, treatment patterns, and outcomes 
• An editable Value Report template to help you build your own customized report
• A Colon Cancer Executive Summary example demonstrating how registry data can highlight program impact—such as shifts toward earlier-stage diagnoses tied to care improvements 

Whether you’re preparing for leadership presentations, accreditation reviews, or internal program evaluations, this toolkit helps position the cancer registry as a strategic partner—not just a data resource.
