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.
