Harward, Au.D., Judith M. Holt, Ph.D., Stephen Clyde, Ph.D., Nita Jensen, Krysta Behring, Aihua Tong, Jeffrey Duncan, Marie Aschliman, Jennifer Bryant Affiliations: EHDI Program, Department of Health, Salt Lake City, Utah Presenter: Jennifer Bryant – Follow Up Coordinator The State of Utah Newborn Hearing Screening (NBHS) Program is continuing the implementation of its Birth Certificate Alert Project (BCAP) that created an electronic link between the Birth Certificate Registration application process, CHARM (Child Health Advanced Records Management) and the Hi*Track NBHS database. Hi*Track and the Vital Records/Birth Certificate database share the same population and the same “unique identifier” number – the Birth Record Number from the “Heel Stick” Kit. Through the BCAP link, if a NBHS alert is generated when parents apply for a birth certificate for their child, a letter from the State of Utah is printed along with the birth certificate, informing the parents or guardian that their child is in need of hearing follow-up. This letter also provides information on how to schedule that required follow-up. The goal of this project is to identify and reduce the number of infants born in the state of Utah who miss or fail newborn hearing screening loss to follow-up or lost to documentation. Key words: loss to Follow up, reduce, track Contact Information: Jennifer Bryant jbryant@utah.gov 801-584-8215 Presentation: This presentation has not yet been uploaded or the speaker has opted not to make the presentation available online.
