The NOMIS Project

Network of Medicolegal Investigative Systems

Todd Matthews
The Network of Medicolegal Investigative Systems (NOMIS) is an United States Department of Justice (DOJ) funded secure web-enabled computer system designed for the collection and sharing of: death investigation information; missing persons; unidentified deceased persons; and for use in daily medicolegal activities and for mass fatality response and mitigation.

NOMIS was officially launched in January 2005. NOMIS is designed to link Medical Examiners and Coroners on a nationwide basis with standardized data collection based upon the Dept Of Justice National Guidelines for Death Investigations. NOMIS allows Law Enforcement agencies (at all levels of government) to access and share in data collection, creating a new and unprecedented nationwide infrastructure for the medicolegal community. NOMIS allows users to enter; edit; track; print and share case report information (to include data; photographs; diagrams; X-rays; dental charting - all in unlimited quantities).

The sharing of data is done by a secure encrypted method that is controlled by the NOMIS user. The basic NOMIS package is offered to qualified agencies/individuals at no cost. NOMIS is in use nationwide and they are actively seeking agencies that would like to become Regional Hub locations. The DOJ has designated the Kitsap Co. (Washington State) Coroner's Office as the National Hub Office for NOMIS.
