California Cancer Reporting System Standards Volume I: Abstracting and Coding Procedures
The Contact Name/Address File is for generating follow-up letters to the patient or designated contact(s).
Space is provided for the name and address of the patient, including state and country, and up to five contacts for information about the patient.
Enter names and addresses exactly as they are to appear in the heading of the letter, using capital and lower case letters, punctuation, and special characters like # for number.
In the Phone field, enter the area code and number without spaces, dashes, or other marks.
A supplemental field has been added which provides the ability to record additional address information such as the name of a place or facility (i.e., a nursing home or name of an apartment complex). This supplemental field is limited to 60 characters.
