Using Hospital and Midwife EHDI & CMV Report Cards to Increase Accountability and Improve Compliance
Dictionary.com defines “Report Card” as a history of record or accomplishment as adjudged by others. It is a means to compare performance to a standard or expectation. Report Cards are also one way to compare compliance amongst different programs of similar size.
Utah EHDI has been utilizing Hospital EHDI Report Cards for the past two years. They were so successful that we have created Report Cards for CMV Referral and Testing; for Midwives; and Free-Standing Birthing Centers. It was a journey, though, that required partnership with stakeholders to be sure they were accurate representations of true performance and compliance. Come learn about their creation to increase compliance to state protocols and expectations. We’ll talk about the bumps we hit along the way and how, through collaboration, we were able to smooth them out. Report Cards are a powerful tool within our EHDI system. Maybe they can be in yours, too.
- Describe the different EHDI Report Cards Utah is utilizing to increase compliance
- Identify new ways to hold local EHDI programs accountable
- Construct their own state’s version of EHDI Report Cards
