Birthing Centers and Midwives Training Overview
In February 2008, we sent a letter to birthing centers and midwives about training on the new birth certificate, as well as the new electronic system for certifying births. The Oregon Center for Health Statistics made some substantial changes to the birth certification process in 2008. A new birth certificate was instituted and a new electronic system for collecting and registering birth certificates went into production on January 1.
The Electronic Birth Registration System (EBRS) is a Web-based system provided to you free by the State that allows the birth certificate to be completed and signed on-line. EBRS is a secure system that enables midwives and medical practitioners to enter birth certificate information online and to securely sign the certificate using a fingerprint reader.
The training is divided into two modules and each module will be offered twice on two different days to give everyone a chance to take it.
Module 1 will address changes to the Oregon Birth Certificate. Module 2 will demonstrate how to enter a birth certificate electronically. We strongly encourage you to attend Module 1 at a minimum. CEUs will be offered for these courses through the Oregon Midwifery Council.
Module 1 will provide participants with an overview of the new Oregon birth certificate.
Participants will learn about:
- Changes in procedure for filing the birth certificate
- Changes in the required information gathered to conform to the national standard birth certificate
- Changes in Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity laws and forms
Module 2 will provide participants with training in filing Birth Certificates electronically. Participants will learn about:
- Changes to electronic filing
- How to use the new Electronic Birth Registration System
We will be providing regional trainings for birthing centers and midwives in Portland, Corvallis, Eugene, Medford and Bend during March, April and May 2008. The complete schedule is in the next sub-section.
To attend a training, please complete the enclosed training signup form and the EBRS user enrollment form and fax these to 971-673-1202 by March 10.
If you have any questions regarding the system, contact Kerry Lionadh at 971-673-1197. We look forward to working with you.

| Continuing Training |
|
We are now in our on-going training program, which will provide periodic trainings on the birth and death systems. In addition to these regularly scheduled trainings, we will be providing additional funeral home training (first-time or refresher) as we expect increased use of EDRS when the fillable pdf file is discontinued on May 1st.
Future trainings will be provided periodically in a variety of formats including:
- Monthly, live Webcast demonstrations
- Online, self-paced tutorials
- Periodic in-person trainings
- Help desk support (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.)
If you would like to request training for your facility contact Kerry Lionadh, the OVERS Training Coordinator, at 971-673-1197 or by email at kerry.l.lionadh@state.or.us. Medical offices that certify death certificates can also contact Larry Kruggel, who is specifically training death medical certifiers. He can be reached at 971-673-0630 or by email at larry.kruggel@state.or.us.

| Webcast Schedule |
|
Starting in February 2008, we will host monthly Webcast demonstrations of EBRS and EDRS. The Webcast demonstrations are designed as introductory courses for first-time users of the system or for users who need a refresher on the basics. We also plan to add additional webcasts to accommodate funeral homes seeking training prior to May 1st. These trainings are not yet scheduled but will be added to this list when the dates and times are finalized.
