The complete digitization of the death certificate (both the administrative and medical sections) was implemented in 2017. It involves numerous stakeholders, including physicians who certify deaths using the CertDC app (web and mobile), healthcare facilities, city halls that receive the administrative section of the death certificate for civil registration purposes, funeral directors, and judicial police officers who also need access to the administrative section of the certificate, as well as departmental prefectures that manage the registry of funeral directors. A pilot program was conducted in six municipalities (Antibes, Aurillac, Créteil, La Rochelle, Montluçon, and Villejuif) between June 2017 and January 2018 to test the system’s technical architecture and assess the various stakeholders’ acceptance of this new system. A review of this initial phase will be conducted in early 2020.
