How are cases reported to the MCR?
Cases are reported electronically. The MCR follows nationally recognized reporting protocol to assure consistency in case reporting from facility to facility. Health facilities that see fewer than 25 cases each year are not required to report electronically. Instead, they may elect to submit the necessary information in a paper format for the MCR staff to enter cancer cases into the MCR database. The MCR does provide Mississippi reporting facilities with free internet-based, WebPlus, that meets the requirements for MCR reporting of cancer cases.
