Connecting EHDI Data to an Electronic Health Information Exchange
Over the last decade most states have developed a number of electronic public health and health care information systems. These include Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI), Newborn Laboratory Information Systems (blood spot / heelstick screening), Immunization Information Systems and others. Each program is typically responsible for collecting and maintaining their own data and controlling the access policies for that data. Recently, a number of states are finding ways to improve data sharing in an effort to decrease loss to follow-up and improve care coordination for children and families with hearing loss. This presentation will highlight Utah’s efforts to link newborn screening information to the statewide Health Information Exchange (HIE) and provide electronic access (of screening and follow-up information) to the child’s Medical Home.
- Participants will be able to evaluate their state's readiness to connect newborn screening information to a Health Information Exchange.
