Sync a Case to the Pennsylvania EDRS 🎬

We're all about streamlining processes and eliminating double entry. We're excited to announce an integration with the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS).

To begin learning how to sync a case with Pennsylvania EDRS, watch this video.

Sync a Case:

It's important to fill out as much case information in Passare as possible before syncing to EDRS.
