SERC Project: NBS Results Reporting Survey • 53 states’ and territories’ NBS lab director and/or state NBS coordinator surveyed for: • How do report your normal, borderline and abnormal NBS results? • What do you think is the BEST way to report an abnormal NBS result?
Question: Results from NBS samples which are normal are routinely available by: (check all that apply)
Question: Results from NBS samples which are borderline are routinely available by: (check all that apply)
Question: Results from NBS samples which are abnormal are routinely available by: (check all that apply)
Question: What do you feel is the preferred method of notifying abnormal results? In an emergency, a virtual or remote result may be the only way for a family/physician
National EP Initiatives • Participation in national organization EP groups • Nat.
