Discrepancy Process

  1. During trimester 2, CIBMTR will generate and post a refreshed CTA discrepancy file (see preview below) on the CIBMTR Portal for centers to download every Friday
  2. Centers need to review and resolve the discrepancies listed in the file
    • Use the instructions below to determine how to resolve the discrepancy based on the category
    • If no file exists, discrepancies were not identified and center will be in “Good Standing” for Resolve CTA Discrepancies and Resolve CTA Queries categories
  3. Once all discrepancies have been resolved, center will be in “Good Standing” for Resolve CTA Discrepancies category

CTA Discrepancy File Preview and Sources

The CTA discrepancy file (pictured below) displays the data reported from each source (CTA list vs FormsNet3/NMDP). This table allows centers to view the discrepancies across the different variables. Additionally, the last variable notifies centers of the discrepancy category.

Discrepancy Categories and Resolution Steps

There are eight different discrepancy categories. If a record has more than one discrepancy category assigned, the order in which the discrepancies are resolved is important. Resolving in the order displayed will prevent additional discrepancies from occurring.

The table below provides the discrepancy category, suggested order to resolve the discrepancy, description and action steps.
