[WSBARP] Death Certificates

[Paul Neumiller]

Maybe the "short form" can also redact the social security number so we
don't have to rely on the County to redact the SSN properly.

Hello Listmates,

 

Frequently, as a consequence of what I do, we are required to record a death
certificate with the County.  As I glanced at another one this morning, I
was struck by the amount of personal HEALTH information that is on the death
certificate.  I know that in Oregon, for example, you have to request a
"short form death certificate" to record is as it omits the health
information.  I was wondering if anyone else thinks that the approach in
Washington is problematic given Federal law and just general ethics, and if
anyone had an idea of what member of our State Government I might raise this
with besides blindly contacting my local representative.

 

Sincerely,

 

Richard L. Holland
