5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising the step of associating, via the server, an alert related to exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 with the at least one scannable indicium associated with the case file, such that upon an occurrence of the scanning event associated with the at least one scannable indicium, the alert is configured to be transmitted to a stakeholder performing the scanning event.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the server is integrated into an electronic health record.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the step of receiving, on the server, the set of data relating to the decedent further comprises the step of automatically receiving, in real-time, the set of data related to the decedent at the server from the electronic health record.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising the step of transferring the decedent to an intermediary location configured to perform at least a portion of an organ transplantation.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising the step of automatically identifying, via the server integrated into the electronic health record, a match between the decedent and a transplant patient associated with the electronic health record.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one scannable indicium is selected from the group consisting of a radio frequency identification, a real-time locating system, and a quick response code.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of tagging the decedent with the copy of the at least one scannable indicium includes disposing a removable tag including the copy of the at least one scannable indicium proximate to the decedent.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein prior to the step of completing, via the server, the case file, the method further comprises the step of prepopulating a final release form associated with the case file, the final release form including the set of data relating to the decedent, a copy of the at least one scannable indicium, and a record of scanning events associated with the at least one scannable indicium.

13. A method of securely tracking a decedent and managing a disposition of the decedent, the method comprising the steps of:

generating, on a server, a plurality of fields each configured to receive an input of an amount of information;

organizing, via the server, the plurality of fields into one or more sub-forms, such that each of the one or more sub-forms includes an amount of information organized into a category;

generating, via the server, a plurality of case types based on the one or more sub-forms, each of the plurality of case types including a workflow including a set of tasks, the plurality of case types including case types selected from the group consisting of an adult decedent, a child decedent, a neonatal decedent, and a decedent having an unknown cause of death;

receiving, on the server, a set of data relating to a decedent, the set of data including demographic information, a suspected cause of death, and additional information selected from the group consisting of blood type, exposure to a communicable disease, and decedent disposition preferences;

associating, via the server, the decedent with one of the plurality of case types and an associated workflow as determined by the set of data relating to the decedent;

after associating the decedent with one of the plurality of case types and the associated workflow, automatically generating, via the server, at least one of the one or more sub-forms associated with the associated one of the plurality of case types depending on the set of data relating to the decedent;

associating, via the server, at least one scannable indicium with the workflow, such that the at least one scannable indicium associated with the set of data relating to the decedent;

tagging the decedent with a copy of the at least one scannable indicium, such that a scanning event associated with the copy of the at least one scannable indicium provides the set of data relating to the decedent, and such that the scanning event associated with the copy of the at least one scannable indicium records a location of the decedent on the server within the workflow;

determining, via the server, a final destination for a disposition of the decedent based on a preference predetermined by the decedent;

transmitting, via the server, a notification to the final destination, the notification including a copy of the at least one scannable indicium;

verifying, via the server, a match between the copy of the at least one scannable indicium transmitted to the final destination, the copy of the at least one scannable indicium associated with the decedent, and the at least one scannable indicium associated with the workflow; and

based on a positive match verified by the server, completing, via the server, the workflow of the associated one of the plurality of case types and transferring custody of the decedent to the final destination.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the set of data includes exposure to a communicable disease, wherein the communicable disease is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising the step of associating, via the server, an alert related to exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 with the at least one scannable indicium associated with the workflow, such that upon an occurrence of the scanning event associated with the at least one scannable indicium, the alert is configured to be transmitted to a stakeholder performing the scanning event.

16. The method of claim 13 , further comprising the step of transferring the decedent to an intermediary location configured to perform at least a portion of an organ transplantation.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the server is integrated into an electronic health record.

19. The method of claim 13 , wherein the at least one scannable indicium is selected from the group consisting of a radio frequency identification, a real-time locating system, and a quick response code.

20. The method of claim 13 , wherein prior to the step of completing, via the server, the workflow of the associated one of the plurality of case types, the method further comprises the step of prepopulating a final release form associated with the workflow and based on the set of tasks, the final release form including the set of data relating to the decedent, a copy of the at least one scannable indicium, and a record of scanning events associated with the at least one scannable indicium.
