Evaluating Usability of the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Information System (EHDI_IS) Audiology Reporting module
The Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Information System (EHDI-IS) supports EHDI programs to ensure that all deaf and hard of hearing infants and young children are identified early and receive intervention services. EHDI-IS is a dynamic data-based tool that gathers individual level information about infants and young children who (1) do not pass hearing screening and (2) receive audiology diagnostic follow-up services. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently funds 39 jurisdictional EHDI programs to enhance their EHDI-IS and to improve documentation of audiology diagnostic testing for infants who do not pass the newborn hearing screening. To support continuous program improvement, jurisdictions conducted evaluation of the usability of the EHDI-IS of Audiology Reporting Module (EHDI-IS-ARM). The goal of the evaluation was to understand how data reporters interact with the EHDI-IS-ARM and make improvements based on the results. In this presentation, CDC will share evaluation methods used by jurisdictional EHDI programs, summarize findings on the usability of the EHDI-IS-ARM, and provide recommendations that may help improve audiologists’ reporting in EHDI-IS-ARM
**Analysis of the cross-jurisdiction evaluation findings is currently in process and will be completed before the EHDI Conference.
- To summarize findings from jurisdictional EHDI programs evaluation findings on the Usability of their EHDI-IS
- To identify successful methods used when evaluating the usability of EHDI-IS
- To identify factors that contribute to perceived higher and lower user satisfaction of EHDI-IS
