“Each of us relies on our birth certificates as proof of age, citizenship or identity to fulfill requirements around employment, government documents, and public programs and benefits,” said Patricia W. Potrzebowski, Executive Director of NAPHSIS. “Efficient, accurate, and timely verification of the validity of these documents is key to protecting individual identity and improving the effectiveness of health programs. Cognizant’s consulting and technology capabilities will help NAPHSIS reinforce its leadership in vital records and related information systems. With more secure and efficient tracking of citizen information, the EVVE system will contribute significantly to the efforts to ensure appropriate use of personal information and enhance individual privacy.”

“Appropriate and legal access to vital records is an essential component of the public health system in the U.S.,” said David Johnson, Vice President of Cognizant’s Global Public Sector practice. “These records serve as both research tools and measures for an array of state and federal health and welfare initiatives. We are pleased to have been selected by NAPHSIS for this important program to challenge the status quo by not just improving the performance of EVVE, but also reimagining NAPHSIS’ business and marketing models for future needs. With a stronger technology and marketing backbone, EVVE will play an even more important role across a wide variety of programs that benefit virtually every citizen in the U.S.”
