Implementation and Rollout Timeline
- Jan 2005 - Jul 2005: CA-EDRS pilot (Yolo, Riverside).
- Jul 2005 - Jun 2007: State-wide rollout begins to funeral homes, registration districts, and hospitals throughout California
Design
The CA-EDRS system design implements a national EDR model developed by the National Association of Public Health Information Systems (NAPHSIS).
Standards
Whenever possible, open standards and protocols are being used for the California EDRS System.
Technology Stack
The application is a Web application implemented using the J2EE architecture. The system utilizes several open source architectural and software components including Java Struts 1.1, Hibernate 1.0, and the iText PDF rendering component. CA-EDRS includes novel approaches to supporting 'over the wire' biometric signatures from medical certifiers without added cost to the certifier. Remote signature is accomplished using one of three: (1) voice signature, (2) Fax signature, or (3) electronic signature.
