How to Configure a Cause of Death

Shelterluv allows you to configure as many reasons for cause of death as you need to help you accurately track and report on this sensitive data. Only one reason can be selected when processing the outcome, so these reasons should be mutually exclusive.

Click your Username > Configuration > Medical > Unassisted Death in Custody to get started.
