Case information at the State Registry remains in a restricted and highly confidential environment. Employees at the State Cancer Registry have access only as needed to perform required duties. The State Cancer Registry contracts with the Cancer Surveillance System CSS at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle to receive and perform quality assurance activities on cases within the thirteen counties surrounding the Puget Sound region, following the same restricted and confidential protocols described above to insure individual confidentiality.

Once you have established a data feed to the Department of Health, the department will communicate errors to the data provider so they can be addressed. All errors or missing values must be corrected before a provider can move to ongoing submission in step 5, Production. Once an eligible provider has completed the validation step of the onboarding process, they will receive an acknowledgement of their success and be placed into production status. Eligible professionals will be required to participate in periodic quality assurance checks to ensure accuracy of reporting.

Department of Health staff will contact data providers to schedule these activities. Visit our COVID page for the latest updates, vaccine information , testing locations and data dashboard.
