Definition
- The reporting of death and its circumstances has been an important public health function throughout history, as societies try to account for when and how their members die. Increasingly powerful mainframe and personal computers, database software, and the Internet have revolutionized the reporting of death and have led to the development of databases in which large amounts of information about death can be stored electronically.
