INFORMATION FOR REPORTING FACILITIES AND SOFTWARE VENDORS
Effective immediately, the Georgia Center for Cancer Statistics (GCCS) will accept data submitted in the NAACCR Version 24 format. We have given cancer registry software vendors a state-specific NAACCR 24 EDITS metafile, and the edit set is named “GA_V24 Hospital Edit Set”. You will need to run these edits before submitting Version 24 data to GCCS.
Data Submissions
Until further notice, we will accept diagnosis year 2023 and earlier cases in either the NAACCR Version 23 or Version 24 format. All cases diagnosed 01/01/2024 and later must be submitted in NAACCR Version 24.
Data Edits
We will run the GA_V23A Hospital Edit Set on data submitted to us in the Version 23 format. We will run the GA_V24 Hospital Edit Set on data submitted to us in the Version 24 format. We recommend that you send an edit report with your submission. If you do not include an edit report or a statement that you have run Georgia Hospital Edits and attempted to clear all edit errors, any errors generated will be counted.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
