ABSTRACT INFORMATION
Title: 'EHDI Data Integration at Various Complexity Levels' Track: 5-Follow-up, Tracking, and Data Management Keyword(s): integration interoperability data software management Learning Objectives: Participants will learn which facets of EHDI Data Integration are essential and which can be modularized and deferred. Abstract: Data integration is poised to become the bread and butter of EHDI data management; however many states and regions are not yet prepared to develop and implement it fully. Budgets, privacy issues and resource constraints are all potential obstacles to implementing this technology. Rather than abandon this goal, states can make deliberate long term plans to implement data integration starting at the most basic design and then progressively add new facets of integration as time and budgets allow. In this presentation the continuum of possible levels of data integration will be described. Participants will learn which facets are essential and which can be modularized and deferred. Data access direction, data access method, data mutability, technical implementation, record matching and system notifications will be discussed.

PRESENTER(S): James Fritzler - Utah State University      Credentials: BS, Business Information Systems      Other Affiliations: National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management       James Fritzler is a Project Manager, Analyst and Software Developer with 13 years of EHDI Data Management experience. He has directed and managed iterative software development for complex, specialized medical data management systems. In doing this work he has collaborated with eight State Departments of Health in implementing data surveillance systems and leveraged SQL Server and the Microsoft .Net Framework to build Web-based and Windows-based data management software. Additionally, his consultation with world-wide screening equipment manufacturers has established and improved hearing screening data integration. Daniel Ladner - Utah State University      Credentials: BS, Computer Science      Other Affiliations: National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management       Daniel Ladner is a software developer on HI*TRACK 4 and IT systems administrator at the National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management at Utah State University since 2003. Daniel’s fascination with all aspects of computers and technology inspires him to enthusiastically research the ever-expanding edge of computer technology. Supporting NCHAM’s EHDI efforts, including the development of HI*TRACK EHDI tracking and follow-up software, for the last seven years has been challenging and fulfilling work.   AUTHOR(S): James Fritzler - Utah State University      Credentials: BS, Business Information Systems      Other Affiliations: National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management       BIO: James Fritzler is a Project Manager, Analyst and Software Developer with 13 years of EHDI Data Management experience.
