This publication discusses the role of electronic medical records in medicolegal death investigations. Medicolegal death investigation offices respond to unnatural, unexpected, and suspicious deaths that require timely, 24/7 access to comprehensive and accurate medical records.

This information ultimately helps survivors, families, and communities, and guides health, safety, and justice efforts.
