Improvements to Our Leading Fact of Death Mortality Index

Even though we already offer the most complete mortality data set available, we frequently make updates and improvements to our Fact of Death dataset. In recent months, we have incorporated additional data sources, including deaths recorded in medical claims data, to increase the number of overall records, and the number of sources behind each record.
To improve our historical data from 1935-2010 beyond the Social Security Administration’s file, our technology team has augmented our sourcing in this time period to include additional obituaries, internments, and more.
With the additional mortality data sources that we have been adding, we are now able to create an even more accurate confidence score for each record.

Our Upcoming Veritas Verify Service

If you want to access our mortality data, but don’t have the IT resources to ingest and pair our file to your internal information, we have the solution! Veritas Verify allows customers to know which individuals of interest (e.g. a research cohort, a list of patients or society members, etc.) are deceased with Veritas doing all the work. In this workflow, customers can send their people of interest in identified or deidentified (tokenized) format to our secure, SOC2-compliant environment. Using a flexible and precise pairing algorithm, we find these individuals within Veritas’ extensive Fact of Death Mortality Index and return the list with the appended dates of death to the customer. This new solution allows customers to quickly understand which individuals are deceased without the IT work. Please reach out to your Veritas point of contact or email us for more information on this new service!
