BACKGROUND:
Currently, the vital statistics record management system is a critical application that provides the Columbus Public Health Department with the ability to provide an extensive array of services, electronic data and document management partnered with document scanning, and operational workflow that provides full end-to-end processing of birth and death records.

The associated coverage period is from June 24, 2010 through June 23, 2011 and provides additional funding in the amount of $67,824.00 with Streamline Health...
