Every Day Your Backlog Grows, Three Things Are At Risk
Your Accreditation
CoC Standard 6.1 requires abstraction within 6 months of first contact. A growing backlog puts your next survey at risk.
Your Reporting
State registries, NCDB, and your Cancer Committee depend on current data. Backlog means stale reports and missed windows.
Your Budget
Hourly contractors, overtime, and emergency hires drain your budget unpredictably — right when finance needs forecasts.
Backlog Recovery, Done the Best Practices Way
Quality. Service. Affordability. Engineered for the way directors actually work.
Line-Item Backlog Pricing
Know the exact cost before we lift a chart. Priced per case, per service, per deliverable. Forecast it for finance. No hourly meters.
Capitation & Per-Diem Contracts
Lock in a flat rate. Pick capitation by case volume or per-diem by day. Registry costs become a budget line, not a surprise.
AI-Driven Total Quality Management
Every abstract reviewed, not just sampled. AI-TQM flags coding errors, NAACCR field issues, and AJCC staging discrepancies in real-time.
Scale in Days, Not Quarters
One contract. Elastic capacity. 200 cases or 5,000 — we ramp our ODS-C team without long-term lock-ins.
100% ODS-C Certified U.S. Team
NCRA-certified, U.S.-based, background-checked. Your PHI never leaves the country.
Named Registry Operations Lead
One named contact. Weekly check-ins. Same-day responses. Never a help desk —always a partnership.

We came to Best Practices Group with 2,847 unabstracted cases spanning fourteen months — the kind of number that makes you wonder if you should just start over. Their team scaled to 12 abstractors in 2 weeks, cleared the entire backlog in 97 days, and maintained above 98.2% IRR throughout. Our state registry submission went in three weeks early. I have never seen a vendor move that fast without sacrificing quality."
