EHDI Quality Measurement Indicators Measure: EHDI-1a (Use Case 1) Percent of births that have been screened for hearing loss before hospital discharge Numerator = # newborns screened Denominator = # newborns discharged Rationale: Benchmarks set within the EHCP may trigger hospital or jurisdictional compliance activities, such as rewriting of procedural guidelines or retraining of screening staff

EHDI Quality Measurement Indicators Measure: EHDI-1b (Use Case 1) Hearing screening refer rate at hospital discharge Numerator = # newborns fail/refer Denominator = # newborns screened Rationale: Benchmarks set within the EHCP may trigger hospital or jurisdictional compliance activities, such as retraining of screening staff or recalibration of hearing screening devices

EHDI Quality Measurement Indicators Measure: EHDI-1c (Use Case 3) Percent of infants not screened at birth who receive outpatient screening no later than one month of age Numerator = # newborns with outpatient screen Denominator = # screening not complete Rationale: Benchmarks set within the EHCP may trigger hospital or jurisdictional compliance activities, such as rewriting of procedural guidelines or retraining of screening staff and healthcare providers

EHDI Quality Measurement Indicators Measure: EHDI-2a (Use Case 2 - 5) Percent of infants within a Medical Home who have completed risk factor analysis and information has been transmitted to EHDI-IS Numerator = # analysis and transmitted Denominator = # patients < 12 months of age Rationale: Depending upon jurisdictional benchmarks, Public Health EHDI staff may review EHCP for completion of risk assessment for quality assurance

EHDI Quality Measurement Indicators Measure: EHDI-2b (Use Case 2, 4, & 5) Percent of children in a practice with risk factor and have an audiological diagnosis Numerator = # with documented audiological diagnosis ( mos.) Denominator = # patients in the practice months with risk factor Rationale: Public Health EHDI staff may review EHCP for completion audiological diagnosis for quality assurance

EHDI Quality Measurement Indicators Measure: EHDI-3 (Use Case 4) Percent of newborns not passing screening who have an audiologic evaluation no later than age 3 months Numerator = # audiological Dx < 91 days Denominator = # newborns fail/refer Rationale: May trigger Public Health EHDI staff compliance activities, such as rewriting of procedural guidelines or educational activities for health care providers

EHDI Quality Measurement Indicators Measure: EHDI-4a (Use Case 4) Percent of infants with hearing loss referred to intervention services no later than age 6 months Numerator = # referred to intervention with age < 181 days Denominator = # diagnosis of hearing loss Rationale: May trigger Public Health EHDI staff compliance activities, such as rewriting of procedural guidelines or educational activities for health care providers

EHDI Quality Measurement Indicators Measure: EHDI-4b (Use Case 4 & 5) Percent of infants with hearing loss referred to intervention services within 48 hours of Dx Numerator = # referred to intervention < 3 days Denominator = # diagnosis of hearing loss Rationale: May trigger Public Health EHDI staff compliance activities, such as rewriting of procedural guidelines or educational activities for health care providers
