Welcome to the EDRS Website!

New York State's Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS) is a secure web-based system for electronically registering deaths. EDRS simplifies the data collection process and enhances communication between health care providers and medical certifiers, medical examiners/coroners, funeral directors, and local registrars as they work together to register deaths.

The system is accessed through the New York State Health Commerce System (HCS) website portal. For more background information about EDRS, its benefits, and New York State's related Public Health Law, click the following link: About EDRS.

Be sure to review the EDRS training resources and documentation information below and on the role-specific pages at left.


Training Program and Schedule

Live training sessions for EDRS are offered as role-specific, visual demonstrations of EDRS with a real-time question and answer period during the training. The live training is conducted as a "webinar" (internet-based seminar) over the internet and telephone, using your computer, internet browser application, and Cisco Webex® Player application.

Pre-recorded training presentations are also available. The recorded training presentations may be accessed and viewed at any time.

Please Note: The Webex Player must be installed on your computer for you to attend any of the webinar presentations - recorded or live. Please see Instructions to Access Webex Webinar Training.

Video tutorials are available on this EDRS website for self-paced training, covering both introductory topics and end-to-end case processing. The self-paced video tutorials are role-specific. The tutorials may be viewed directly in your internet browser (with the exception of SCORM format versions, which are for facilities that have a Learning Management System).

Go to your role-specific page linked in the left menu to view all training recordings and self-paced tutorials or to sign up for a live training session.
