Death certificates are going to a new online process in July 2017 and will now be completed through an electronic system called VRISM (Vital Records Information Systems Management). VRISM is Tennessee’s new electronic death registration system. VRISM is: · New, User-Friendly, Internet Accessible, Secure, and Time-Saving; · Improves the quality of data for the State of TN; and · Paperless filing of the official death certificate. · In this training, participants will learn how to use VRISM and what the new electronic completion process will look like. Anyone needing access to the VRISM system will need to complete the User Agreement (https://www.tn.gov/health/section/vital-records). This allows individuals to be put into the system and be given login information to access VRISM. The training at ETSU will be for Funeral Directors, Embalmers and their staff that handle death certificates.
