What is it about?

Strengths & Limitations of this Study • The UGICR is the first CQR in Australia, designed to capture information on UGI cancers with the aim to improve practice by monitoring and providing benchmarked reports to participating sites. • We describe the development of a CQR for UGI cancers, including the establishment of governance, recruitment framework, clinical quality indicators, minimum data set, data access policy and reporting structure. • This registry was developed as per the Australian Commission on Quality and Safety in Health Care’s (ACSQHC) Framework for Australian CQRs and follows ACSQHC’s Australian Operating Principles for CQRs and can be used as a model for researchers developing CQRs. • The time consuming and labour-intensive site governance approval process in Australia is a major limitation for rollout of the registry.
