Model of CanReg5 Implementation for Indonesia

Indonesia is in the process towards the advancement of technology in cancer registration. Cancer registration system was built to manage cancer data at the “Dharmais” Cancer Hospital and several regional hospitals. However, the existing system was judged insufficient to support the process of data management across regions in Indonesia. Along with the progress of science and the increased need in cancer medicine, a better tool for cancer registry is needed. CanReg5 software has been selected to support the new cancer registration system. The aim of this study is to develop a system model that automates the process of collecting and analysing cancer data using CanReg5 software for all regions in Indonesia. Several problems have been identified and become issues to be studied. This study is a qualitative research using methodologies that collect data through interviews with all staffs and doctors involved in the cancer registry activity. The results of this study are the generation of network architecture of hospital-based cancer registration with specific security for data transfer, business and technical process of cancer registration, and disaster recovery plan to anticipate the effects of system breakdowns. Estimation of number of staffs related to work responsibilities and estimation of devices required to support the system are provided. Successful implementation of this model would grant a platform for the generation of cancer registration system in such a large developing country with limited resources.
