Arizona EHDI and Part C Data Sharing collaboration

Arizona's Newborn Screening and Part C programs have been working together over the past several years on creating a data sharing agreement to share early intervention enrollment data on children who are D/HH. Using technical assistance provided by PTAC and the DaSY Center, Arizona successfully completed a data sharing agreement that allow the programs to evaluate referral and IFSP data. Having accurate, real time data on referral and IFSP dates will allow the programs to provide appropriate technical assistance to both referral sources and EI providers to ensure timely enrollment and appropriate service provision for infants and toddlers who are identified as D/HH. The Arizona data sharing agreement development process will be shared with participants as well as lessons learned and guidance on how to get started in your state. Arizona will also share the process of how CDC grant funding was used to provide support in "linking" data from the EHDI system (Hi-Track) to the Part C data System (I-Teams) and how a manual process moved to an automated process for real time data exchange.

  • Participants will learn about Arizona's EHDI/Part C data sharing agreement
  • Learn how to access technical assistance related to FERPA exeptions
  • Learn about engaging IT in automated data sharing
