title: Fox Chase Cancer Center Referral Resource Directory.
abstract: The Cancer Information Service at the Fox Chase Cancer Center receives over 8,000 calls per year requesting referrals to local health care services. We developed a multi-user microcomputer-based system for entering, storing, updating and retrieving cancer referral resource information. Counselors use a menu-based system to retrieve referral resources by agency name, subject, state, county, city, telephone area code, zip code, or fee code. The system also includes menus for expediting database management: data entry, updating, browsing, and report generation. A data entry screen allows records to be entered or edited. The system can print mailing labels and update sheets for each agency. This system enhances our ability to disseminate high-quality information to the public.
