Connecticut's Electronic Death Registration System
"CT-Vitals"
What is CT-Vitals?
CT-Vitals is a secure, web-based electronic death registration system which will allow death data providers (funeral directors, medical certifiers, and local registrars) to electronically create, edit, and sign death certificates.
CT-Vitals will:
- reduce the time it takes to report deaths
- allow for an electronic workflow between the various data providers
- improve disease tracking and reporting for public health surveillance and research
- minimize errors with online edits
- deliver real-time SSN verification with the Social Security Administration
- allow funeral directors to order death certificates online
- create an automated cremation authorization workflow
CT-Vitals Roll Out Process
CT-Vitals will be used to electronically file Connecticut deaths beginning July 2020. Training sessions for all user roles will take place Spring 2020. A pilot of CT-Vitals will begin January-February 2020 in the city of New London.
