As previously posted, the digital workflow for completing a Medical Certificate of Death (MCoD) in Connect Care launched a few weeks ago, and we’re pleased to see many funeral homes readily adapting to the improved process. Deceased information is automatically sent from Connect Care to Vital Statistics, with no need for paper certificates.
To help all come onboard with the digital MCoD both in community hospitals and urban centres, please remember to always use the digital workflow. The Discharge as Deceased navigator (found via the Discharge Transfer Gateway) provides all instructions for the workflow, simply follow the steps as guided.
Paper forms are being retired... facility patient registration (admitting) departments, as well as Alberta funeral homes, expect electronic MCoD filing for all deaths where Connect Care is the record of care at the time of death.
