The Impact of EDRS on registration timeliness: Utah, Nebraska and California's perspective • Jeff Duncan, Utah • Mark Miller, Nebraska • David Fisher, California
Does EDRS improve timeliness? • What is timeliness? • The civil registration view • In Utah, 72 hours to certify • 5 days to register • The public health view • How fast is data available?
Death Registration in Utah • 15,000+ deaths per year • Eden, rolled out in 2006 • 100% FD users • 60% of dc’s all-electronic • Local participation in registration process
Effect of late certification on late registration • 87% of deaths certified on time (<72 hrs) were registered on time • 67% of deaths certified late were registered late. • Late certification strongly predicts late registration (OR=12.4)
Modeling late certification • Logistic regression using 2009 death data excluding deaths certified by OME • Age, gender, place of death and registration method had minimal effect on certification timeliness • Non-residents more likely to be certified on time (OR = 2.2)
Another definition of timeliness • Availability of data • Transmission to NCHS • Availability of coded COD statistics • Use of cause of death literals for surveillance
Data timeliness Data available
Improving timeliness • Enable physicians • Rapid notification of death • Electronic medical records for certification • Reduce processing time
