Before you use the IRIS software, you should install the Mortality Medical Data Software (MMDS). The MMDS is a de facto standard for mortality coding. It has been developed by the National Centre for Health Statistics (NCHS). Micar and Acme are two components of MMDS and they are used by IRIS. This means that the MMDS must be installed to use IRIS. MMDS is a free software and can be downloaded at
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/mmds.htm.
Select the year of MMDS according to the year of death. For the years 2012 and continuous install the MMDS version of 2011 and update the data with the downloaded tables from the IRIS Downloadcenter. For more information about MMDS see
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/mmds/about_mmds.htm.
By using the search function you can find the latest releases of IRIS and documents for download. Furthermore, it is possible to search by date and text.
