RE: CRF/CPEST Client Database (CDB) Benchmarks; 1st Quarter, FY13
Attached are statewide benchmarks data for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014 (FY14) for colorectal cancer (Attachment 1) and prostate cancer (Attachment 2). This reflects Client Database (CDB) data from 07/01/13 through 9/30/13, as run on 01/14/14. We will send your jurisdiction-specific data electronically to your CRF/CPEST Program Director/Coordinator.
We ask that you:
Review your report(s)
Correct and/or enter data in the CDB where needed and appropriate
Document any issues in the CDB
Review local policies/procedures in order to improve processes related to benchmarks, if needed.
Statewide, we have met all 7 of 7 colorectal cancer benchmarks and 1 of 3 pertinent prostate cancer benchmarks in the first quarter. Please note: On the report, “No Data” means that no records met the criteria of the benchmark in the time frame selected in the report.
Thank you for your efforts in meeting benchmarks. Should this office have any questions about the reports, we will contact you. If you have any questions/issues you would like to discuss, please let me know (410-767-2616 or ).
