Electronic Death Registration System
The Bureau of Vital Statistics is currently implementing the e-Vitals
Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS) in the Medical Examiner Districts
across the state of Florida. Death records are essential for just
administration of our law and for the protection of individual rights. In
addition, the statistical data from these records are of great value to public
health and other agencies.
The need for accurate statistical data on the
causes of death was instrumental in establishing the Electronic Death
Registration System. Before today, the process of registering and
recording a death was a slow and laborious paper process, requiring travel to
and from the local county Health Department along with the record having to pass
through multiple units within the county and state offices.
EDRS has
simplified this process by allowing funeral directors to initiate a death
registration directly to the state database. Along with online medical
certifiers, the entire registration process has been reduced from several weeks
to just a few days, in most cases.
