Washington Staff Profile • EHDI Team (Genetics/NBS) • 4 FTEs solely for EHDI • Follow-up on patients • Monitor infant screens • Program outreach & evaluation • 2 FTEs for program consultation & support • Consult on program development • Data retrieval & analysis • General clerical support
Tracking & Surveillance System History • 2001 – Received CDC/HRSA grants • 2002 – Built system and started with 5 pilot hospitals • 2003 – Added a few more hospitals to the system • 2003 – Began work on web application for audiologists • 2004 – Audiologists started using web application • 2004 – Began work to add all hospitals in WA to system • 2005 – All hospitals but 1 reporting to system • 2005 – Some clinics begin reporting to system
DOH VB CLIENT Audiologist Web App Tracking & Surveillance System Details • SQL Database • VB Client used by DOH employees • Web application is .ASP pages used by Audiologists • Security is both user name/password and digital certificates • EHDI database initially populated by bloodspot program data .ASP pages EHDI SQL DATABASE Secure DOH environment
Audiologist Web App Hospital Results Overview of how it all works • Hospitals screen with OAE and ABR • Hospitals submit results to DOH on modify bloodspot cards • DOH manages screening data and responds accordingly • Referrals are made to audiology clinics • Audiologists add diagnostic data to patient records DOH EHDI SQL DATABASE
Basic System Uses • Patient Follow-up • Monitoring Screens • Feedback to stakeholders
PatientFollow-Up • Respond to results submitted by hospitals • Communicate with primary care provider • Use combination of letters, calls & faxes • Document case management
Monitoring Screens • Use birth rosters to monitor that every infant is screened • Work with hospitals to resolve “potential no test” cases • Contact primary care provider if infant was true no test
Feedback to Stakeholders • Hospital Report 1: Screener Reports • Hospital Report 2: Card Reports • Audiologist Reports • Facility/State Statistics • Referrals with and without recorded visits • Patient summaries of infants diagnosed with HL • Risk Factor and Referring MD Summaries • Ad-Hoc Reports as requested
Additional System Uses • Protocol Analysis • Outcome Evaluations • Ad-Hoc Data Analysis
PROTOCOL Protocol Analysis • How many letters do we send? • What is the response? • Are the timelines correct? • Do faxes work better? • Etc….
Outcome Evaluations • Did we detect infants with HL? • What type of HL? • Did we lose patients? Why? When? • Intervention?
Ad-Hoc Analysis • Geographically Specific • Specific Diagnostic Clinics • Border Issues
Future System Uses • AUCD Risk Factor Study • Lost to Follow-Up • Data Integration
AUCD Risk Factor Study • UW & Children’s Hospital • Risk factor education • Risk factor reporting • Increase data submitted • Evaluation of data collected
Lost to Follow-Up • Determine causes • Student projects • Develop targeted protocols
Data Integration • Child Profile • Part C • Medical Homes • Local Public Health
What we’ve learned…. • Be familiar with your system • Evaluate your system & protocols • Involve stakeholders • Know your resources
