Remote Working Across the Miles.

Wyoming Cancer Surveillance Program (WCSP) was successful in improving their ability to work remotely.Prior to 2022, the WCSP was only able to hire employees who lived in a 50 mile radius because of the needed availability to commute to the office periodically for processing paperwork. ChallengeDue to the ruralness of Wyoming and lack of certified tumor registrars (CTRs), it is very difficult to recruit for the WCSP.With the COVID pandemic, more and more qualified CTRs were working remotely.These factors, along with attrition, put a great burden on the WCSP.So, the WCSP had to come up with a remote plan so the WCSP could eliminate the biggest barrier-commuting.
