Ohio’s Health Data Portal for Universal Newborn Hearing Screenings, Diagnostic Testing, and Early Intervention
In 2019, Ohio’s Governor Mike DeWine issued an executive order requiring all state agencies to adopt and use the InnovateOhio Platform (IOP). The executive order includes a new public-facing Health Data Portal (HDP) to allow Health partners and citizens one place to find public and secured state data. A primary goal set forth by the project was the creation of Tableau based dashboards and Enhanced Report Builder functionality, allowing data consumers the ability to visualize aggregate data by criteria most relevant to them. IHP staff viewed the initiative as an opportunity to further increase data transparency, aiding to answer common questions that general public and stakeholders in the Infant Hearing community.
Fall of 2019, HDP staff reached out to the Ohio Department of Health’s (ODH) Infant Hearing Program (IHP) to begin development of the programs HDP. During the project, IHP worked with HDP staff, hosting initial meetings to understand the minutia of IHP data and how it differs from other data collection programs at ODH. After initial exploration and discussions about the Hi*Track case management program and consistently shifting IHP data, it was determined that the IHP HDP would utilize data from annual reports to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While these reports are limited snapshots in time, they are frequently presented to stakeholders on a state and national scale.
Demonstrations during the presentation will show the resulting IHP HDP platform. The platform is now a central location to access the annual CDC Reports and explanatory documents. Additionally, IHP staff worked to develop a series of graphic visualizations that will be built upon annually as CDC Reports are finalized, including charts and county level maps.
- Understand the reasons and benefits of the initiative and how program staff can work within state directives.
- Identify possible barriers and challenges, from the perspective of data stewards and analysts, to building similar projects and how to navigate them.
- Walk away with a basic knowledge of Ohio’s Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Health Data Portal and what similar projects could look like for your jurisdiction.
