24. 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.  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

25. NBSTRN Key Resources Newborn Screening Translational Research Network25 Region 4 Stork Database (R4S) Access to own patients’ data Access to de- identified data

26. NBSTRN and the SACHDNC  Facilitate evidence development to support nominations  Pilots of new conditions  Clinical history development  Clinical trials of new interventions  Provide means of capturing post-market surveillance data to monitor program  Addressing evolving bioethics and legal issues Lab Quality Assurance Committee26
