APPENDIX F SPELLING WORDS FOR SuperMICAR DATA ENTRY

CHAPTER VI PROCESSING SuperMICAR FILE
A. Correcting Illegibles in SuperMICAR
Certificates may fail to process because they contain words that were
entered as ILLEGIBLE during data entry. This can be corrected
through the use of SuperMICAR’s illegibles function. The Illegibles
function checks for the word "Illegible(s)" or "Unintelligible(s)" in the
cause fields (including Part II), duration fields, and the injury
description field. The Illegibles function displays and permits
corrections to those records in which illegible words were found. This
process should be done by someone more familiar with reading and
interpreting cause of death information, e.g., a trained underlying
cause of death coder.
1. From the main screen, press (Alt+T) to select the Tools
Menu Option.
2. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the Illegibles
function. Press (ENTER).
3. A window will be displayed:
a. To check illegibles, press {C}. After checking the
illegibles, SuperMICAR will display a report window showing
the certificates that contained illegibles. Press {Alt-P} to print
this report or {Alt-C} to close the form without printing.
b. To edit illegibles, press (E). The edit certificates screen
will be displayed for each certificate that contained
illegibles. Edit those records to correct the illegible.
After the final illegible has been edited, a message box will
indicate that the illegibles check is completed. Press
(ENTER) to continue.
4. The main SuperMICAR screen will be re-displayed.
