Common Information Data Set Four domains of interest Surveillance Public health Patient care Knowledge generation 88 data elements in twenty-four data categories, including demographics, SES, family history, prenatal history, newborn screening, and emergency management. Survey results show broad interest in each data element by all four of the domains of interest. Handout shows the results for each data element. Standardization through NLM Newborn Screening Translational Research Network
