Annual Performance Measures
The Center for Health Statistics (CHS) is responsible for registering, certifying, amending, and issuing Oregon vital records. Oregon law requires that all vital events such as births, marriages, divorces, and deaths be recorded and registered. These are the legal records documenting a vital event and, in the case of birth certificates, are the primary documents used to establish identity.
CHS is also responsible for compiling and analyzing the data from vital records. These data are used throughout the state and nation for program planning and policy development and are the primary data sources used for measuring many Oregon Benchmarks, Department of Human Services Outcomes and Performance Measures, and Healthy People 2010 Objectives.
