This US-specific implementation guide (IG) provides guidance on the exchange of information to and from medicolegal death investigation (MDI) information systems. It supports interoperability between the MDI systems of medical examiner and coroner (ME/C) offices, forensic toxicology and other laboratory information management systems (LIMS), electronic death reporting systems (EDRS) of jurisdictional vital records offices, and ancillary workflows whose systems have the capability of utilizing Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). The guide provides MDI system developers with the technical details and best practices to standardize MDI fields and interfaces. Stakeholders may use the narrative portions of this guide to inform policies and practices for data exchange between systems contributing to death investigations.This guide can serve as a base for local specifications. This MDI specification is designed to be flexible to accommodate a variety of systems, recognizing that information management systems used for assembling MDI data vary widely by state, jurisdiction, and agency.
