Are We There Yet? Diagnostic Audiology Reporting through HIE.
Complete, timely and accurate reporting of diagnostic audiology results to the State Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program is critical to achieve the overarching aim of preventing delays in the development of speech, language and social skills for children with hearing loss. Health Information Exchange (HIE) is a proven success for timely, complete and accurate reporting of newborn hearing screening results. Oregon EHDI and the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) have been working since 2016 to mirror the success of HIE for diagnostic audiology reporting.
This presentation describes an informatics-focused solution for interoperability between OHSU’s EHR and EHDI-IS for diagnostic audiology data. We will report on three key aspects of feasibility for transmitting diagnostic results using HIE: 1) data standards, 2) message types, and 3) EHR data capture and extraction. We will also outline the steps to prepare for HIE, discuss the importance and use of national data standards, and report on persistent challenges to achieve health information exchange.
- Participants will identify key steps to assess if their data system is ready for HIE
- Participants will name at least two of three key components which underline the feasibility of HIE for diagnostic data reporting
- Participants will describe the importance of data standards
