Abstract: |
The Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR) is taking a lead in Michigan’s Health Data Integration Project, which was started in response to the newborn health standards and guidelines recommended by the Center for Innovation as part of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). State legislation passed in spring, 2006 to allow the expansion of the Registry to include the reporting and recording of additional health information. Hearing screening, rescreen, and diagnostic information was added June 2009 to the online program for health care providers to access. This means that EHDI results are retrievable online by 100% (2,400) of Michigan immunization provider offices, all 15 Health Systems, and audiologists. Hearing results being displayed for pediatricians and other medical home providers will facilitate follow-up. The process to integrate and the challenges in education will be discussed, along with the impact of how this will improve follow-up, and the future directions of collaboration. |
