CNExT is a comprehensive cancer data management system developed by C/NET Solutions, designed specifically for Cancer Registrars to run an efficient cancer registry and meet the rigorous standards of accrediting agencies. The software is compliant with the latest Commission on Cancer (COC) standards and American College of Surgeons (ACoS) requirements for cancer program accreditation, as well as National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation requirements.
CNExT is a scalable solution, serving a range of clients from single community hospitals to large research institutes. The core product, CNExT Registry, is complemented by modules like CNExT Multi-Hospital, which allows health care systems with several facilities to use a shared, true relational database for complex registry needs, and the CNExT Cancer Alert System (CAS) for automated case identification.
Key Features and Capabilities
- Data Quality and Entry: Features like default values, automatic fill-ins, and calculated fields ensure data quality and reduce keystrokes.
- Compliance Edits: Includes built-in state-specific, ACoS, SEER, NAACCR, and RQRS edits. The 'Edits Monster' feature meets the requirements for NCDB submission, eliminating the need for separate utilities like GenEdits.
- Casefinding: The optional Cancer Alert System (CAS) taps into the existing network (e.g., pathology systems via HL7 messaging) to quickly identify cancer diagnoses and bring them to the registry desktop, saving time and cost.
- Follow-up: A fully-functional, strategy-based follow-up system is included to automate the monthly follow-up process.
- Integrated Help: The Smart Help system integrates electronic coding manuals, including the Collaborative Staging Manual, FORDS with surgery codes, and the SEER Program Manual, which follow along with data entry.
- Security: Meets HIPAA and security regulations with features like HIPAA compliant logins and passwords, logging of database access, and tracking of data disclosures.
C/NET Solutions has been an industry leader for over 40 years (established in 1983) and CNExT is the choice of over 800 hospitals and medical facilities across the country.
