STEVE
NAPHSIS, along with its stakeholders and partners, has initiated the development of the next version of the State and Territorial Exchange of Vital Events system (STEVE). STEVE is an effort to keep what works best about STEVE 1.0 and provide additional functionality, flexibility, security, and the ability to grow along with partners it serves.
ABOUT NAPHSIS
NAPHSIS and its members work with a variety of partners to improve the efficiency and security of vital records operations in every state, plus the District of Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Marianas Islands.
Working with federal partners such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), the Social Security Administration, the Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of Personnel Management, NAPHSIS has developed and operates electronic systems for vital records offices that:
- Allow for the secure exchange of vital records and information among jurisdictions,
- Provide data to agencies that use information from birth and death records, and
- Support electronic verification and/or certification of vital event records.
NAPHSIS supports these initiatives to improve the quality, speed, availability, and security of vital records and statistics through training, standards, best practices, and technical assistance.
NAPHSIS also works with its members, its corporate partners, and NCHS to support the development and use of electronic birth and death registration systems. These systems enable health departments to register and administer vital records securely, accurately, and quickly. Chances are, if you order a certified birth or death certificate, it will be issued from one of these systems.
