DES MOINES, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner recently launched a newly redesigned website which will serve as a central hub for forensic pathologists and county medical examiners and their investigators in the state of Iowa. The website, which can be found at www.iosme.iowa.gov/, was designed with mobile devices in mind, meaning visitors using their smartphone or tablet to view the website will enjoy the same functionality as visitors using their home or office computer.

The website provides visitors with access to current Iowa laws and policies. Visitors can also easily find frequently asked questions or simply find the Agency's contact information.

"The redesign stemmed from a desire to open a new dialogue with site visitors and provide content in a mobile friendly design format," said Dennis Klein, deputy state medical examiner.

The website was redesigned in partnership with Iowa Interactive, LLC of Des Moines. The partnership between Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner and Iowa Interactive operates under a self-funded model in which no additional tax dollars or county funds were used to develop or maintain the website.

Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner is the seventh state agency to implement Iowa Interactive's content management system (CMS). In addition to the CMS product, Iowa Interactive manages the state's official Web portal, Iowa.gov, and specializes in online government applications.

"Iowa Interactive was the best resource for our Web development and application needs," Kelin said. "We consider Iowa Interactive a true partner."
