ABSTRACT INFORMATION
Title: 'It’s All Good for EHDI: How Data Integration with Other Programs Benefits MD EHDI' Track: 6 - Follow-up, Tracking and Data Management Keyword(s): Data Integration, EHDI, Data Management, Medical Home, Early Intervention Learning Objectives: Discuss how centralized data capturing can benefit Medical Home Providers and Public Health Programs Evaluate the possible advantages of integrating other screening types into their own EHDI programs. Abstract: As a condition of the CDC grant to lessen the reporting burden for hospitals, Maryland EHDI incorporated the reporting of Birth Conditions and Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) screening into its database. We now have a centralized record for each baby that contains information and results for all three programs, EHDI, CCHD and Birth Conditions. By integrating these programs, we have seen a much higher level of interest and involvement from hospital administrators as well as our local birth centers/midwifery facilities. In addition, MD EHDI has designed and implemented a tool for incorporating Part C enrollment and outcomes data into the same patient files. As a benefit to collaborating with multiple screening programs and Maryland’s Part C provider, we have found that our Primary Care Physicians/Medical Home Providers are more interested in using the system now that they are also able to access all of the additional information in a single place. This has made them more aware of and active in monitoring their patient’s progress through the EHDI system.
