Smarter, Not Harder: Using Data Systems to Get from Screening to Diagnosis to Intervention Easier and Faster
The Oregon EHDI program has integrated multiple established data systems to create a centralized database accessible to birth facilities, medical providers, Audiologists, Early Interventionists, and parent guides. Electronic transfer of data has significantly reduced duplicate data entry and streamlined reporting, tracking, and enrollment in Early Intervention. It has also dramatically improved communication between those involved in the care and provision of services for a child with hearing loss. We will demonstrate how end users (Audiologists, EI providers, etc.) utilize the current Oregon EHDI-IS system to report and communicate as we follow a child from screening to diagnostics to enrollment in EI services.
- Identify established data systems for your program
- Identify benefit(s) of centralized reporting
