007.40.1-VII. Release of Data
2. To the Arkansas Department of Health: The ACCR shall work closely with the Arkansas Department of Health in investigating cancer-related issues and in evaluating programs. Because the ACCR data are an integral part of the Arkansas Department of Health cancer prevention and control programs, the use of registry data by public health officials shall be considered an in-house activity. Data required by the Arkansas Department of Health for responding to concerns expressed about threats to the public shall receive priority in determining the order of processing requests.
1. Because cancer patients may be diagnosed or receive treatment in another state, the ACCR is authorized to sign agreements with other states to acquire cancer data concerning Arkansas residents and, in return, to provide those states with data relating to their residents. Each signatory state shall agree in writing to keep all patient data confidential and privileged as defined in the contract for data exchange.
