Alabama EHDI project on improving timely documentation, reporting, and analysis of diagnostic and intervention data through optimization of EHDI surveillance practices and information system. - The proposed project, 'Improving Timely Documentation, Reporting, and Analysis of Diagnostic and Intervention Data Through Optimization of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Surveillance Practices and Information System', of the Alabama EHDI Program, administered through the Alabama Department of Public Health, will address the optimization of the existing EHDI information system to enhance the ability to collect, report, analyze, and use patient-level data. The Alabama EHDI Program establishes a protocol to ensure that all deaf or hard of hearing infants are identified early and receive intervention services in a timely manner per the EHDI 1-3-6 plan, which recommends newborn hearing screening no later than one month of age, diagnostic audiologic testing no later than three months of age for infants not passing the inpatient hearing screening, and enrollment in early intervention no later than six months of age for those identified with hearing loss. The program plans to improve the capacity to document the provision of timely follow-up diagnostic testing and early intervention services in order to help address potential developmental delays. The strategies of the proposed project include the following: 1) to improve the collection, management, and efficient use of diagnostic and intervention data, in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Functional Standards; 2) promote and support collaboration with stakeholders around tracking and surveillance activities and to provide technical assistance during the reporting process; 3) maintain data quality and lead strategic actions for continuous program improvement; and 4) develop data reports and disseminate information among internal and external stakeholders. The expected project outcomes are improving the collection, reporting, and analysis of diagnostic evaluation and early intervention data by optimizing and enhancing the existing information system and improving collaboration with stakeholders to increase engagement in the reporting process. Increasing information system capacity, stakeholder knowledge, skills, and collaboration, in turn, will increase the number of newborns who have audiologic evaluation by three months of age and are enrolled in appropriate intervention services by six months of age. As a result, improving the timeliness of diagnostic testing and early intervention services will improve the overall developmental outcomes for children identified with hearing loss to include delays in speech and language, social, and emotional development.
