2020 data was used for the diagnosed no later than 3 months and lost to diagnostic follow-up measures. EHDI data can take one year to normalize due to scheduling and receipt time of reports. This data has been submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and is considered complete. If you would like updated individual hospital rates for these measures, please contact the EHDI staff.

Perinatal networks as a whole and individual hospitals that are out of compliance for certain measures should contact the EHDI staff for remediation plans. There are remediation plans for each measure. A multitude of procedures and protocols impact each measure. Therefore, procedures and protocols will be analyzed to determine if best practices are being followed. The Newborn Hearing Screening Program looks forward to working together to improve our state performance.

These performance measures are to add transparency to our Newborn Hearing Screening Program across the state.
