CHAPTER VI PROCESSING <strong>SuperMICAR</strong> FILE<br />

C. Processing Records using <strong>SuperMICAR</strong><br />

Processing is how <strong>SuperMICAR</strong> converts the entered cause of death<br />

information into NCHS’s Entity Reference Numbers (ERNs). There<br />

are two phases of processing in <strong>SuperMICAR</strong>: Record Processing<br />

and Reject Processing. It is intended these two processing<br />

operations be performed to insure that the certificate data is<br />

processed correctly. The two operations are:<br />

Record The first phase of <strong>SuperMICAR</strong> processing<br />

Processing produces output for all certificates in the databases<br />

that are perfectly correct. It marks the certificates<br />

containing errors as rejects. This process runs in<br />

batch mode without user interaction.<br />

Reject The second phase of <strong>SuperMICAR</strong> processing is an<br />

Processing interactive session in which only the rejects from<br />

Record Processing are run. A trained MICAR coder<br />

can help <strong>SuperMICAR</strong> processing by changing the<br />

data on the certificate using MICAR data entry<br />

rules, making additions on the AI screen, or<br />

selecting external cause codes from the External<br />

Cause prompts. The results of Reject Processing<br />

are merged with the results of Record Processing to<br />

produce a complete MICAR file. NOTE: Proper use<br />

of the External Cause Prompts requires special<br />

training. If the user has not been trained, the<br />

External Cause Prompts should not be used.<br />

Before records can be processed using <strong>SuperMICAR</strong>, the following<br />

actions must have already been performed:<br />

Opening a file (New Certificate File or Open an Existing File).<br />

Note: The file must have certificates in it to process.<br />
