Staging Vital Records In earlier versions of The Doc of the Bay we have talked about the power of staging as in moving documents from application to application upon events where each application has special purpose.  In this version of The Doc of the Bay we will take a look on how this metaphor of staging will work for Vital Records. First we need to capture the Birth and Death Certificates.  Let make it more complicated than normal so the Birth Certificates arrive as paper whereas the Death Certificates are received as PDF image only. Certificates in general arrives in sequential order by what is called the Local Registration Number, this means that we can do batch scanning into the first stage where we just give the batch the first Local Registration Number and the document type of Birth or Death. Should a Local Registration Number be missing in the sequence of the batch scanned or imported a replacement page is inserted so the batch is one long sequence. At nighttime we can let the NTS AX Mini Workflow work on the batches that was created in the day time.  The Workflow will first split the batch into documents by using the document type which determines how many pages that goes with each Certificate.  In the case of the Death Certificates imported in PDF image only format the pages will be converted to TIFF files to match the Birth Certificates. The first page of the Certificate is OCR'ed to capture the Local Registration Number, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name and Event Date (as in date of birth or date of death).  Since the accuracy is not hundred percent the new split documents representing Certificates are moved into a QC application.  The batches in the Scan / Import application will not be deleted but marked with processed and the date of the process. With that in place the batches can be deleted after a time-lapse of let's say 30 days.  This means that if something goes wrong from this point forward the Certificates can be reprocessed without re-scanning or re-importing. The following day the operator can validate the Certificates in the QC application and correct incorrect OCR'ed data or missing data.  When this is done the operator set a field to OK so when the Workflow is run again the perfect and the corrected Certificates can be moved to the Vital Record application.  Again like in the Scan / Import application a processed date is set so this level can be rolled back if something goes wrong. On final item that needs to be deployed is a special printing driver that will crop-out the part that is needed when a Certificate is going to be printed.  Also the cropped image needs to be scaled down and centered to match the Bank-Note paper frame.  Under printing many time the current issue date need to be imprinted on the Certificate.  For more information on the kind of printing engine for products like the Legato / Ducumentum EMC Application Xtender call NTS. As from the above description it is clear that a normal archive system can take advantage of staging. For more information call or email NTS.
