Registering for the first time:

If you are a new user to NJ-EDRS, you will first need to register before you can access the system. If you belong to a facility that already uses EDRS, chances are the facility has an EDRS administrator who will be able to register you onto the system automatically; simply request him/her to do so. You will then receive an email with your login information. On the other hand, if no facility administrator exists, simply click on the Register as a new user link as displayed below.

2.	From the menu that appears, select what kind of user you are:

•

Physician

•	Registered Nurse

•	Mortuary Practitioner

•	Local Registrar

•	Facility Administrator - to manage users within a facility

•

or Other

3.	If you are a physician, you will have the capability of self-registering for immediate access to EDRS. All other users will be required to fill out an application.
