The informatized death case reporting system was designed on the principles of simplifying processes, improving efficiency and guaranteeing security, and its functions include auto-capturing certificate numbers and basic information, logic verification, electronic signature and statistics. The promotion and utilization of the electronic death case report module should also combine with the characteristics of each medical institution, as well as the communication and acceptance of related administrations such as the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and public security organizations.
