Abstract: |
The Utah Department of Health newborn hearing screening database was linking electronically with the birth certificate application database to provide printed “alerts” to parents of children who had not completed hearing screening. Different methods of follow-up were assessed.
Linking child health databases (electronic data integration) appears to be another effective tool to help find children who may be lost to follow-up or at risk for not completing follow-up. |
