Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Information System (EHDI-IS) Surveillance Program

 

The objective of this program is to assist EHDI programs in developing and maintaining a sustainable, centralized newborn hearing screening tracking and surveillance system capable of accurately identifying, matching, collecting, and reporting data on all occurrent births that is unduplicated and individually identifiable. Additionally, for those programs with fully developed EHDI information systems, program will enhance the electronic system capacity to collect data, and exchange data accurately, effectively, securely, and consistently between the EHDI-IS and Electronic Health Record Systems (HER-S).
