EHDI-PALS is live
EHDI-PALS.org (ehdipals.org) is live. We would like to share with you this invaluable tool. We will demonstrate how the search engine works in the following ways:
For audiologists- how audiologists can provide, maintain and update their facility profile for display. How the alert system is structured to remind them to review their service profile annually. We will emphasize that if no review is done, the facility will not be displayed. For parents- how parent can input their child’s age, type of service needed, and residence zip code. These 3 answers are used to filter the facility database for the best matches. We will demonstrate with hypothetical examples such as a 6-month-old needing hearing test. During the demonstration, features such as ‘last updated’, ‘useful links’, ’Questions you may want to ask’ and how to contact EHDI program will be pointed out. For the EHDI coordinators- we shall discuss downloading facility information, printing a facility’s reporting behavioral profile and where to locate e-mail template. Future enhancements such as creating a map that displays facilities across 2 contiguous states or socio-economic distribution will be discussed and audience’s ideas and suggestions will be welcomed.
Announcements and activity on EHDI-PALS that have taken place are: joint ASHA & AAA announcement, presentations done and a regional EHDI-PALS call to action. Dissemination plan for 2013 is currently underway.
