COMPLETE INCOMPLETE RECORD
This option is used for completing a birth certificate which has been filed before all of the required fields have been entered. This certificate could have been 'filed' as an INCOMPLETE FORM SAVED FOR LATER COMPLETION (using the key F6) at any time during data entry or it may contain fields which were 'skipped' (using the key F9) because the information was not available at the time of data entry. Data entry using this option will begin prompting you at the point which you 'filed' the record or will prompt you only for the fields which were 'skipped'. There is no need for you to remember where you 'filed' this record or which fields you previously 'skipped'.

VARIABLE DISPLAY
This display provides a list of field numbers and an expanded description of each field name. The field names are listed according to the sorting order of the data field number. It is possible to select only one data field or a group of data fields. This display is useful in analyzing record data in depth and also allows you to view the values of "internal variables" which are created during data entry for certain fields to be used in reports, computer tapes, or for mathematical computations.

LIST TO BE SENT TO HEALTH DEPARTMENT
The completed Hospital Birth Records are sent to the Local Registration District. A listing of the completed records can be created to send with the certificates. This listing is created from the records that have not yet been batched and are still flagged as "UNSENT". This list provides you with an audit trail of the records you have sent to your Local Registration District and the date that they were completed and sent. A record that has been selected for this list is flagged as 'SENT' and access to this record becomes restricted. The message ACCESS TO THIS CERTIFICATE IS RESTRICTED is displayed when you try to edit or print a record that has been previously put on a list. (See PROCESS REGISTRAR REFUSED RECORDS)

GENERATE REPORT - RUNNING A REPORT IN THE BACKGROUND
A report run in the "Background" (rather than the "Foreground") means that the report will not tie up your terminal while it is running. You will be able to use your terminal for other AVSS functions. This method is advisable when you feel the report you are about to run may take longer than a few minutes. The length of time will depend on the speed of your computer, the number of births at your hospital, and the time period you are covering.

Your AVSS system runs a daily integrity check or "validation" of all the files and programs. This routine is run automatically but occasionally at the request of the System Manager, this Integrity Checker may be run through the menu. If you have received the message DATABASE ERROR DETECTED and have notified your System Manager to fix the error, this routine is usually run after the error has been fixed to make sure that AVSS has no further errors.

AVSS DATA BASE INTEGRITY CHECKER
AVSS maintains and updates its' files when you enter, edit, or delete any baby's record. Occasionally, power outages, hardware or computer failures, or program errors can cause the data base to become corrupted. The AVSS Database Integrity Checker will report any errors it finds and whenever possible, correct these errors. This program can take several hours to complete and may slow your computer down, so it is best to run at times when there is very little activity taking place.

LIST OVERRIDE PROCESSING
AVSS maintains "lists" of choices for many fields such as zip codes, states in the U.S., countries, and attending physicians in each hospital. When you enter data for a field and the information you have entered does not match any entry on a list, AVSS will ask "ARE YOU SURE?". If you enter a "Y", AVSS will accept your data and store the "override". The System Manager can review this information later to see if there is any new data that should be added to any list in AVSS.
