: I was surfing the Net and found your great site full of information on various Cancer Registry related topics!!
: I have returned to work at a hospital based Cancer Registry after almost 10 years of working in ambulatory care. My supervisor is looking into the possibility of outsoursing the abstracting part of our procedures to any Registry staff that wants to work from home. We live and work in Maine.
: Are there any other hospitals doing this in other states? Are you or anyone you know abstracting from home? Is it working for you? If not, why not?
: I would appreciate e-mails regarding this topic since, as the new member of our staff and the only one who sort of knows how to find information on the Internet, I have been assigned to find out if anyone else is doing this and how it is working out.
: Also, is there a program close to New England where I can study for the Fall 2001 CTR examination?
: Thank you.
