How to Report

• First-time users will need to REGISTER by logging into the confidential CCR Cancer Reporting Portal for Pathologists.
• Pathology labs and/or facilities are required to register for reporting on behalf of represented pathologists within an organization or lab. Registration information includes: Lead physician contact, Lab management contact, Technical interface contact, and LIS and/or EHR vendor information for the purpose of providing a certificate for submission to the web service where applicable.

Pick a Transmission Method:

•  Submit Data via Direct Data Entry Web Portal:
  • First time users will need to create an account. Once your account is approved for submissions, you may begin submitting your pathology reports.
• Electronic Interface Options: A web service, Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), Minimal Lower Layer Protocol (MLLP)
  • If your facility will be reporting utilizing an electronic interface between the central registry and your EHR, LIS systems, the next steps are as follows:
    • Visit the Self-Testing Portal:
      • Here you can download a sample HL7 Message that your team can use to format your message.
      • Once your message passes validation from the portal, a reportable case trigger mechanism from your EHR, or LIS needs to be identified and established.
      • Your facility has passed validation, and a reportable case identification mechanism has been identified.
      • The next step is to begin acceptance testing by sending test messages to the state.
      • Request credentials for your message submission method (SOAP, RestFul, SFTP, MLLP) by sending an email to AB2325help@cdph.ca.gov.
      • Once your message submissions have been validated your facility will be moved to production for ongoing submissions to the central registry.
