3. NHVRINweb • The Need • The Players • The Scope • The Cost • NHVRINweb Benefits

4. The Need • Getting records of birth, death, marriage and divorce in a generic, “query-able” fashion • Relieving staff from doing manual queries on an ad hoc basis for multiple interested parties • Pushing and receiving electronic data files from other states

5. The Players • NCHS • Allowed us to use one of their contractors • Provided subject matter experts • Participated on Project Team • Constella – the contractor • VRIFAC • NH OIT • DVRA Staff – yet another project!

6. The Scope • .NET application • IJE data set • Real time data usage • Multiple levels of access • General Public • Health Researchers • State Agencies • Other States

7. The Scope • Capitalize on already developed dataweb tool • Use standard format that IJE committee has accepted for birth and death • Maximize usage for interstate electronic exchange

8. The Cost • Time and Materials contract • $54,000 for development of tool • $11,000 for database conversion tool (Oracle tables to IJE tables) • Other states can capitalize on work that Constella has done • Cheaper further deployment

9. NHVRINweb Benefits • 2-Tier development approach • Data conversion module to transcribe state data to IJE Format • Customizable web pages that query back to real-time ODS • User’s access will be greatly improved • VR staff will not be so dedicated to running data queries

10. NHVRINweb Benefits • .NET application will be easily developed/maintained by in-house staff • Generic tables structures (IJE) will allow plug-and-play type deployment of the application to other states
