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.
