Data Dashboard Development for EHDI 1-3-6 Tracking and Follow-up
Rhode Island Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) screening, diagnostic and Early Intervention (EI) data are all collected in KIDSNET, Rhode Island’s web-based integrated child health information system. An EHDI data dashboard has been developed in KIDSNET to track each baby through the screening, diagnostic, and EI enrollment processes. This presentation will demonstrate the dashboard used by RI EHDI to easily access aggregate and individual level information and to track all communications (phone calls, letters, etc.) with the family and EHDI partners such as audiologists and EI Providers. Use of the system to document reasons not screened, diagnosed, or in EI for reporting on the Hearing Screening Follow-up Survey (HSFS) will also be presented.
- Participants will be able to describe Rhode Island’s EHDI data dashboard.
- Participants will learn how a dashboard in an integrated child health information system may enhance program efficiency and improve follow-up.
- Participants will understand how an EHDI data dashboard can facilitate follow-up and tracking of reasons services were not delivered.
