17th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING
March 18-20, 2018 • Denver, CO
3/20/2018 | 3:45 PM - 4:10 PM | Evaluating Jurisdictional Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Information Systems (EHDI-IS) | Capitol 7
Evaluating Jurisdictional Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Information Systems (EHDI-IS)
Since 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been funding jurisdictions and providing technical support for the development of their Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Information Systems (EHDI-IS). In 2014, a comprehensive evaluation component was included as part of the jurisdictions’ regular activities, to monitor and assess the progress of the development of their EHDI-IS. This presentation will describe the framework used to develop a customized evaluation for each of the 52 EHDI-IS that were funded in the previous CDC cooperative agreement, from 2013 to 2016. This evaluation included both a customized logic model and an established set of surveillance system attributes. The CDC Guidelines for Evaluating Public Health Surveillance Systems and the Six Dimensions for Data Quality Assessment were used as references to strengthen this evaluation model. All jurisdictional evaluation plans were entered into a database, and aggregated results on similarities and differences between these evaluation plans will be presented. In addition, successes and challenges in implementing this evaluation design will be discussed.
- Participants will learn the results from a comparison of EHDI-IS jurisdictional evaluation plans.
- Participants will learn the established set of EHDI surveillance system attributes
- Participants will learn the overarching EHDI-IS logic model
