Alcestis
is
a progressive and cost-effective service that helps medical examiner and coroner
offices manage their case information over the Internet.
Alcestis
also offers a nationwide, comprehensive, and uniform database to researchers
interested in public health and injury prevention. Alcestis has the potential to be a vital
source of mortality data from across the U.S. Its database is a unique source of
fatal injury and non-natural death information; a useful tool to assess the
health status of a county, region or state; and has the potential to focus
prevention initiatives.
In
Greek Mythology, "Alcestis"
was the wife of a mortal who was condemned to die. Fates struck a deal to
allow Alcestis to give her life so that her husband might live. In the same spirit, the
Alcestis service offers a way that those who die may contribute to scientific
understanding so that others may learn and avoid preventable deaths.

Alcestis is Administered by the Center for Collaborative Research in Health Outcomes & Policy at MPHI
