All State EHDI Coordinators encounter similar information sharing issues that impact EHDI programming. Whether it is hospital reporting, audiologist reporting or Early Intervention reporting, the EHDI information highway is full of potholes and fallen trees. How do we find solutions to the problems we all face? During this session the CDC 'Data Collection Points' definitions and the results of survey of EHDI State Coordinators addressing current data sharing issues and solutions will be presented. Following the presentation, the participants will be divided into round table discussion groups so that critical data sharing issues can be addressed and potential non-legislative solutions defined through shared resources and experience.
