Provider reported challenges with completing death certificates: A focus group study demonstrating potential sources of error. by Allie Morgan, Thomas Andrew, Sylvia M A Guerra, Valeria Luna, Louise Davies, Judy R Rees

“…<h4>Results</h4>Three types of challenges to case classification were identified. 1) Infrastructural and procedural challenges encountered when completing death certificates, including the rigid structure of the form, lack of training in its completion, and lack of real-time feedback. 2) Clinical uncertainty and the varied approaches providers take to determine the cause of death based on their perception of the purpose of the death certificate. 3) Choosing cause of death in decedents with a history of cancer.<h4>Conclusions</h4>There are specific and substantial challenges in the death certification process that lead to errors in documenting the cause of death, but many of these challenges could be addressed with structural change to the forms or mechanism of training. …”
