Description

The Bowel Cancer Outcomes Registry (BCOR) is a Clinical Quality Registry established by the Colorectal Surgical Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSSANZ). It was started as a clinical audit and is a surgeon-led surgical audit applicable to all surgeons who perform colorectal cancer surgery.

The BCOR is governed by a collaboration of invested parties (CSSANZ, RACS, NZAGS, GSA, and consumers) and contains over 43,000 treatment episodes.

BCOR data is used for clinical audit of the surgical practices of Australian and New Zealand surgeons for the purpose of quality assurance. The audit also works towards creating a large dataset containing Australian and New Zealand data that can be used for research and quality improvement purposes, with the aim of advancing knowledge and understanding of treatment for colorectal cancer. By creating this dataset BCOR will be able to identify areas pertinent to patient safety, identify benchmarks and identify sites that may be performing outside the common bounds of the larger group.

Patients 18 years or older undergoing resection or treatment for colorectal cancer are recruited by surgeons at participating public and/or private hospitals in each Australian Jurisdiction and New Zealand via an opt out consent approach.

BCOR collects information on patient and tumour characteristics, colorectal cancer management, complications of treatment, and clinical quality indicators relating to quality of surgical and hospital care.
