Transmit the required data through the approved secure reporting process without obtaining a separate patient authorization when the law permits mandatory reporting Wait for a signed patient authorization before every submission Send the complete medical record by ordinary email Report only cases for patients who are still receiving treatment at the hospital

Correct Answer:

Transmit the required data through the approved secure reporting process without obtaining a separate patient authorization when the law permits mandatory reporting

Explanation:

Cancer reporting statutes can authorize mandatory reporting to a public health registry. The registrar should follow the applicable law and the approved secure reporting method rather than adding an authorization requirement that the law does not require.
