collection kits are returned to TEFSC
they contain a completed fragment specimen collection form. Data
Entry Personnel record information from the forms into EFRA.
In addition, if they learn of changes to alternate contact information
from the form received, they may edit form details and edit, or delete
alternate contact information associated with the patient.
