The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In the medical examiner's office, coroners and forensic administrators face the difficult task of preparing and sending death notifications to families. Each request means pulling details from autopsy reports in SharePoint, reviewing case notes in Excel, and composing sensitive messages in Outlook. These steps are not only emotionally exhausting but also disrupt casework and delay responses. Manual handling increases the risk of inconsistencies and missed facts.
