National Violent Death Reporting System Implementation Manual Appendix G

Sample NVISS Case Flow Chart

This sample flow chart represents one possible pathway of a traditional NVISS Case from initiation to completion. Data elements that may be needed to link the case between data providers are listed. Once a staff person identifies a case through death certificates at the Vital Statistics Office, he/she will typically proceed to add to it information from Coroner/Medical Examiners, Law Enforcement, and Crime Laboratories.

 

Note: There are a variety of approaches to gathering data on violent deaths; the above is one prototype. Not all variables listed in the links are required but represent a list of potential data elements that may be needed to link cases between data sources.
