A Breast Center’s Agreement to Data Validity

for participation in the

National Quality Measures
for Breast Centers ™
   A Quality Initiative of the National Consortium of Breast Centers
 

Step 2  - Preface

What does this agreement mean?

The NCBC asks all breast centers who want to participate in the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers™ Program to complete a Data Validity Agreement.  By completing this agreement, a facility avows, through its Medical Director or Manager, to the NCBC, that the facility will be a participant in the NCBC National Quality Measures for Breast Centers™ Program.  This agreement serves as verification that the data a facility provides will be true and accurate.  It also verifies that a responsible party within a breast center for the collection and submission of quality data will be designated by the Medical Director or Manager and identified to the NCBC. 

This agreement also declares that the NCBC will keep all data submitted confidential in perpetuity.  The NCBC will enroll the participating facility in the NCBC National Quality Measures for Breast Centers™ Program.  NCBC will also confirm eligibility to become a Certified Quality Breast Center™ and ultimately a Certified Breast Center of Excellence™.
