The particular logistical problems of collecting cancer registration data in the South-Western region of England are discussed. The Regional Cancer Registry has endeavoured to overcome these through developing electronic links to hospital-based patient-information systems. Some of these involve data transfer on magnetic media, but there are also interrogation facilities which operate on a realtime, interactive basis, and complement these other facilities. A PC-based program (SNODEV5), which can accept data from histopathology computer systems, translate SNOMED codes to ICD-9, and produce files suitable for processing by the registry's Batch Data Entry system is described. Its contribution to the achievement and monitoring of equity in health care provision is discussed.
讨论了在英格兰西南部地区收集癌症登记数据所面临的特殊后勤问题。地区癌症登记处一直努力通过建立与医院患者信息系统的电子链接来克服这些问题。其中一些涉及通过磁介质进行数据传输，但也有实时交互式的查询设施，对其他设施起到补充作用。介绍了一个基于个人电脑的程序（SNODEV5），它可以接受组织病理学计算机系统的数据，将SNOMED代码转换为ICD - 9，并生成适合登记处批量数据录入系统处理的文件。还讨论了该程序对实现和监测医疗保健公平性的贡献。
