I did some search on google about the MEDSIS reporting of deaths. A facility can enter data about a person and their classification of how a person died. Then it looks like that once reported as either confirmed or probable then an investigator gets assigned to confirm. This is purely an assumption as I was trying to figure out the actual deaths from the chart. Reported is one thing, but the final number should be the truth after investigation.
