Additional Information About the Role

Siteman Cancer Center and BJC HealthCare are seeking our next Cancer Registrar to join a high-performing team of more than 20 ODS-C professionals responsible for the collection and management of over 18,000 reportable cancer cases annually across a large, multi-hospital healthcare system.

As the only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Missouri, and one of the nation's leading oncology programs, Siteman provides the opportunity to work with a diverse and complex cancer population, cutting-edge treatments, and robust research initiatives.

Our team plays a critical role in supporting Barnes-Jewish Hospital's Commission on Cancer (CoC) accreditation, quality improvement efforts, regulatory compliance, clinical research, and cancer surveillance. Team members work with Epic and NeuralFrame/KACI.

This role is ideal for a detail-oriented oncology data specialist who thrives in a fast-paced environment, values data quality and continuous learning, and is motivated by the impact cancer registry data have on patient care, research, and outcomes.

Our team reviews all patients that are treated and/or diagnosed with a malignancy at BJC HealthCare and Siteman Cancer Center to determine their eligibility for inclusion into the cancer registry database as well as their reportability to the Missouri & Illinois Cancer Registries.
