The edit flag extension supports validation as part of the Jurisdiction to NCHS use case and can be ingnored for the provider to jurisdiction use case. The validation checks are done at the jurisdiction prior to sending to the National Statistical Agency and are based on the item specific edit criteria specified in the Birth Edit Specifications for the 2003 Proposed Revision of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Birth and the Fetal Death Edit Specifications for the 2003 Revision of the U.S. Standard Report of Fetal Death.
