POC Survival Tab

Description

This tab of the Session Setup window allows you to select the type of Survival data to use in your Phase of Care session. The three options are to import a Survival Data File exported from SEER*Stat, import a custom CSV data file with Survival rates, or to use no Survival Matrix at all.
