  • Enhancement to Death Certification Workflow for Unidentified Patients
In response to prescriber requests, an enhancement has been made to the workflow for completing a Medical Certificate of Death (MCoD) in Connect Care for patients who were unidentified at the time of admission.

The ideal is still to wait for an unknown patient (UNK-) chart to be merged with the permanent chart with corrected patient demographics prior to creating a MCoD. However, if waiting for a chart merge is not possible, certifiers will now be able to manually enter discovered patient names, age at death, and legal sex in the unidentified patient's MCoD. 

See the updated tip sheet for details.
