2 Summary o Project scope (background) o Development organization o System functionality o Timeline o Current status California Conference of Local Health Officers 2

3 Background o California AB2550 (2002) mandated an electronic death certification system be developed by DHS and implemented by January 2005 o The CA-EDRS is currently in development, overseen by a Steering Committee comprised of representatives from DHS, CCLHO, CFDA, Coroner s Assn., and CMA California Conference of Local Health Officers 3

4 Project Scope o Develop a Web based, secure electronic death registration system for California Create a California-specific EDRS design (CA-EDRS) Design incorporates EDRS Task Force functional requirements document Design based on the NAPHSIS EDR Model (released Jan 20) o System users Local registrars/health officers, funeral directors, coroner/medical examiners, physicians 750 funeral homes, 61 local registration districts, 58 coroner/medical examiner offices, ~80,000 physicians California Conference of Local Health Officers 4
