procedure tables. Cycle information includes location, referral information,
and final diagnosis and treatment results. Most cycles begin with a
screening procedure, either a Mammogram, a CBE, a Pap test, or a pelvic

Required Fields
Due to the various ways in which Programs enter and perform quality
control on their data, there are few edit checks performed during data
entry. This includes required fields. In order to add a new patient, the
Social Security number or Last Name must be entered. Besides this, and
some basic edit checking, the majority of the edit checks will be performed
using the MDE Edit Check, the Standard Audit queries, or the Overdue

to the MDEs are shaded in pink, with red field labels. The MDE Edit
Check will also help you determine those fields that were not completed
properly. Appendix II also provides the database and data entry fields that
are used in the MDE file.
