Additions and Enhancements
|
We have concluded the implementation phase of our EDRS
project. Now we turn our attention to making a great system, even
better. We will update the information concerning new features being
incorporated along with information on how those features were developed.
The following list is not all inclusive. There are many "behind the
scenes" changes that are also being implemented designed to enhance our
service to the public.
We will also keep you informed concerning any new version
releases and what you may expect to see in those releases.

Issue or Process |
Changes Made and Processes Changed |
Date Implemented |
|
Save Without Edits |
We are adding a second "Save" button on the toolbar for EDRS and EBRS.
This is a shortcut button for the Save Without Edits function. The
familiar blue disk will still be there but it will now have a companion
yellow button. This shortcut will save time and prevent unintentional
hard saves |

New Reports Tab |
This enhancement creates a new tab on the death record exclusively for the
funeral director/staff users. This tab has data fields for all of the
information that funeral homes routinely report to the Funeral Board.
In addition to now capturing the report data, the Funeral Board has agreed
to archive the reports through EDRS which eliminates the need to deliver the
hard copies to Tallahassee. |

|
FAX Confirmation |
This enhancement now provides a confirmation window before actually sending
the fax. This additional step will help prevent "accidental" sending
of the fax attestation. |

|
|
72 Hour Clock |
This change was specifically requested by funeral directors. On the
FAX tab, you will see a new field of Expected Return. This clock
begins when you first send the FAX ATTESTATION to the certifier. In
addition to the clock, the system will now alert you when you attempt to
open a record, that the 72 hours has now elapsed and the fax has not been
returned. This enhancement will make it much easier to determine which
doctors should be contacted without having to view each individual record to
calculate the timeframe. |

|
|
|
ME Notes Field |
This change opens the Medical Examiner Notes field to be viewed by funeral
directors and online certifiers. Opening this field will allow the
medical examiner to communicate instructions or information about a cause of
death. The funeral directors or certifiers will not have to contact
the ME office for this information thereby making the correction process
more efficient. |

| |
|
|
|
Social Security Verification |
This change will cause the system to resend any failed SSA verification
transmissions. This allows creates a pop up window for the Funeral Director
when performing a final save, prompting them to re-attempt the verification
on any failed SSN fields. This enhancement is designed to reduce the
errors in reporting information to the Social Security Administration. |
January 2013 |
| |
|
|
|
Multiple FAX images |
This enhancement will only display the most current accepted FAX ATTESTATION
image as the active image available. If the system receives a newer version,
all older versions are marked INACTIVE. This will eliminate any confusion
for the Funeral Director or Medical Examiner as to which image is the most
recent. |
January 2013 |
| |
|
|
|
Application for Certificates |
This enhancement creates a generic application for certifications with the
decedent information pre-populated. Fees will be omitted from this
application as county fees vary greatly. The funeral director will generate
the application and handwrite the appropriate fees. They may then forward
that application by mail, fax or personal courier to the county office along
with the appropriate payments. This process should have a positive impact
for the counties in regards to their inventory of preprinted applications as
well as adding convenience for the funeral directors and families. |

|
|
|
Proper Cause of Death |
This enhancement updates the Medical edits associated with Cause of Death to
better inform physicians as to proper causes of death and their associated
etiology. |
January 2013 |
| |
|
|
|
Accidental Hard Saves |
This enhancement creates a pop-up asking the user to confirm that they are
intending to do a final save. This change should prevent users from
accidentally performing a hard save before they are ready. |
