CALIFORNIA BIRTH CERTIFICATE SYSTEM PAGE 1 USER MANUAL

INTRODUCTION The implementation of an automated system to accurately capture and record birth data necessitates sending large amounts of information from the counties to the Office of Vital Records (OVR). For this data to be usable, it must be sent in a form compatible with the vital statistics data processing system. This manual describes the requirements of the OVR in order for the county to transmit birth data in electronic form. Also available is the Handbook for Birth and Death Registration that provides instructions for the completion and registration of birth and death certificate forms.

Data Element Name given to an item on the birth certificate (VS-10).

Definition Explanation of what the data element signifies.

Field Number Where the data element appears on the birth certificate (VS-10)

Field Length Maximum number of alpha/numeric characters required (EDP Record) for

this data element on the EDP file. (EDP file is the Electronic Data Processing file transmitted to OVR. It is also referred to as an electronic file.)

Record Position Field location of the data element on the EDP file. (EDP Record)

Edit Criteria Valid entries that are required for this data element.

Validation Required

A data element or data relationship that has a questionable entry must be validated. Questionable entries are those that are unlikely but possible. For example, if the sex of a child is entered as “undetermined” on the paper certificate (and coded as “9” on the electronic version of the record), all available sources of information must be checked to validate that the entry of undetermined is correct. The sources include, but are not limited to, questioning the parent or informant, referring to labor and delivery logs and/or medical charts, questioning the physician or other attendant to the birth, etc. Each birth record requiring validation must contain the following information:

• Field number(s) of the entry (entries) requiring validation • Value(s) entered in the field(s) • Initials of the person(s) who validated the entry

Cross Reference(s)

For some fields data elements will be cross-referenced with other data elements to assure accurate entries. For example: Date of Last Live Birth (27C) and/or Date of Last Other Termination (27F) may not be greater than Date of Birth (4A). A record cannot be transmitted until it passes all the cross-reference checks.

Required for Electronic Transmission to State

Indicates which data elements are to be contained on the electronic birth records sent to the State by the local registration districts.

Special Consideration(s)

Additional information for clarification of the paper certificate and electronic data elements.
