Improving Timely Documentation, Reporting, and Analysis of Diagnostic and Intervention Data through Optimization of EHDI Surveillance Practices and Information Systems - Nevada averages approximately 35,000 births per year. Nevada Revised Statutes mandate provisions for hearing screening of infants born in Nevada hospitals which have 500 or more births annually. Currently, all birthing hospitals screen their infants as a matter of best medical practice. Historically, more than 97% of all infants born in Nevada hospitals have a documented hearing screen prior to discharge. Nevada’s Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Information System (EHDI-IS) is composed of enhancements to the state’s vital records system. These enhancements encompass numerous data fields related to hearing screening, diagnostic evaluation, early intervention involvement and family demographics. The Nevada Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Program cooperative agreement application purpose is to build upon past activities to provide and document recommended follow-up testing and intervention services. To optimize EHDI tracking and surveillance process and information systems, plus standardize reporting, analysis and use of timely patient-level data to ensure infants receive timely diagnostic and intervention services. And finally, to work with the various entities which submit data to the system and share this data with appropriate stakeholders and through the evaluation process facilitate improvements in follow-up activities. The Nevada EHDI outcomes associated with the cooperative agreement application match all those as listed in the funding opportunity announcement. During the first and subsequent funding years of this cooperative agreement, the Nevada EHDI work plan will focus on the following outcomes. Short-term Outcomes • Recipients meet the “Shall” requirements of the CDC EHDI Functional Standards • Improved collaboration between audiologists and jurisdictional EHDI program • Increased knowledge and skills among audiologists in the jurisdiction about reporting hearing results • Improved collaboration between early intervention programs and jurisdictional EHDI program • Increased knowledge among program staff and stakeholders of current data issues, including loss to follow-up and loss to documentation • Increased understanding by jurisdictional EHDI program and stakeholders of strengths and weaknesses of the system Intermediate Outcomes • More audiologists in the jurisdiction report high quality diagnostic hearing results • Improved the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of follow-up and intervention enrollment data • Increased targeted dissemination of information among internal and external stakeholders • Increased the timely submission of standardized patient-level datasets to CDC (excluding PII) • Increased standardization and comparability of EHDI follow-up data by CDC at national level Long term Outcomes • Use of timely patient-level data among EHDI programs for tracking and to inform decision making • Increased the number of infants who receive a diagnosis no later than 3 months of age • Increased enrollment in Early Intervention services no later than 6 months of age, for infants who are D/HH.
