Death Data for Health Studies

As science continues to make strides for the treatment and prevention of previously incurable diseases, health studies are becoming more and more important to our understanding of those diseases. Health studies are a way to test the efficacy of certain medications, and allow new cures to be discovered every day.

Are you conducting health studies and need to determine the mortality status of the participants? Is the cause of death pertinent to your health studies? LifeStatus360 Death Audit and Life Audit services provide death data solutions for health research teams with efficient and cost-effective solutions to determine the mortality status of your participants. Using discreet information, such as Social Security Numbers, Date of Birth, last known addresses and known relatives, LifeStatus360 can help you locate and determine the status of your health study subjects.

When performing a health study, knowing where your subjects are, regardless of whether they’ve moved or not, is one of the most helpful pieces of information you can have. At LifeStatus360, we understand that some subjects may be difficult to track down due to frequent moves or instable addresses.

Unlike discharge records, which are limited to deaths that occur in hospitals, nursing homes or other institutional settings, LifeStatus360 tracks all deaths reported to the Social Security Administration regardless of where the death occurred. As a researcher, it’s important to be able to identify deaths outside of health care facilities, and our data sources at LifeStatus360 can help you locate all of your health study participants.

We are certified by the NTIS to receive the Social Security Administration Death Master File (DMF), and use state sources and our LifeStatus360 Proprietary (LSP) sources to provide our customers with death results. Additionally, our Obit360 obituary search can provide health studies professionals with indications of death that may be pertinent to the research study. Our death data sources are updated daily, weekly and monthly, ensuring that we provide you with the best results.

At Lifestatus360, we understand that security and anonymity is of the utmost importance in the health care field, and especially with health studies. Our death audit solutions provide results using just your participants’ SSN and/or your de-identification number to maintain the security and privacy of your research. We will also remove the data for our system and provide you with a Data Destruction Certificate that verifies the deletion of your research data.
