Electronic Sharing of Vital Event Registration Data Through the State and Territorial Exchange of Viral Events
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to NAPHSIS. The Preventing Maternal Deaths Act of 2018 provided funding through CDC in FY 19 to establish or continue a Federal initiative to support State, local and tribal maternal mortality review committees, to improve data collection and reporting around maternal mortality. Part of the support that CDC provides is reviewing the data received by MMRCs to ensure the quality and correctness of that data. Currently, jurisdictions use the State and Territorial Exchange of Vital Events (STEVE) to exchange vital records. CDC is currently not a member certified by the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems (NAPHSIS), so we cannot view vital records on that system. It is imperative that CDC, in order to ensure timely and quality data, have access and training on the use of the system.
To secure access to the NAPHSIS State and Territorial Exchange of Vital Events (STEVE) system, to receive training on the use of the system, to coordinate a phased access to jurisdictional records, and to conduct system user meetings.
