Coroner Case Manager

Modern Coroner Case Management

Coroners and medical examiners (medicolegal death investigators) require specialized software to perform death investigations, document the conclusions and determinations of the cause of death, and also the circumstances that contributed to that death.

Web Based Coroner Case Management Software

Web based coroner case management software, when designed correctly, enables coroners and medical examiners to document their cases from virtually anywhere they can connect to the internet. This includes using their phones, notepads, ipads, and other mobile devices.

Web Based Coroner Case Management Security

As with all solid security practices online, the following recommendations should be essential to any web based coroner case management system:

• Multifactor Authentication (MFA)
  • Requires a user to sign in using a user name, password, and at least one other challenge (often times a pin code) to gain access to the system.
  • MFA increases security because even if one credential becomes compromised, unauthorized users will be unable to meet the second authentication requirement and will not be able to access the targeted case management system.
• Platform Independence
  • There are some web based coroner case management systems that use Amazon's AWS (Govt Cloud). We found this article interesting: Amazon Web Services (AWS) Data Breaches: Full Timeline Through 2023
• Keep Your Files Local
  • If you pay a web based coroner case management system vendor for file storage, you'll pay upwards of thousands of dollars a year for your case photos and files to be stored online - which is a bad practice security-wise. Convenience should never override security and common sense.
  • You can purchase an external hard drive (for roughly $60) and keep those case photos and files preserved in your office. There are a surprising number of coroners and medical examiners already doing this, because no one wants to suffer the embarrassment of their case files being acquired and published on the internet.
  • A file system provides less security than a database management system. - source
• Encryption
  • Data transferring between your web based coroner case management system and your device should be encrypted using Secure Socket Layers (SSL).
  • Sensitive and confidential information stored within a database should be encrypted.
