Answer to Question 1

Birth certificates are usually completed and submitted by hospital health information departments. Death certificates (and fetal death certificates) are usually initiated by hospital nursing staff (or the patient's attending physician), and then completed and submitted by funeral homes. The certificates are filed in the local vital statistics office and sent to the state office of vital statistics.

Answer to Question 2

A manual MPI requires the typing or hand-posting of patient identification information on preprinted index cards. MPI cards are housed in a vertical file, with one card generated for each patient. When a patient returns to the facility, the MPI card is retrieved and reviewed to verify demographic information and update the card with new admission information. File guides help users quickly locate MPI cards by dividing the filing system into smaller subdivisions.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
