OMB clears on this ICR consistent with the understanding that DUIP/NCIPC will continue to devote resources to maximizing the long-term value of CDCâs investment in working with State health departments and medical examiners/coroners to improve the timeliness of fatal opioid overdose surveillance. More specifically, DUIP/NCIPC will continue to collaborate with NCHS (who has the lead in working with States vital records agencies) on developing a standardized, efficient, and sustainable approaches to incorporating mutually agreed upon data elements into State death certificates. Efforts during the first year will focus on broad development of ME/C standards and improving electronic interoperability of ME/C case management systems that incorporate toxicology information and findings from death scene investigations into vital statistics systems. Efforts during the 2nd years of clearance include multi-state piloting, and the 3rd year of clearance will focus on broad implementation into electronic death reporting.
