EHDI Information
EHDI Data Management Booklet
One of the most challenging aspects of establishing an EHDI program is information management. If the only task were to count and report the total number of births, the number screened, the number who passed and the number of non-passes, program design would be very easy. When all the other information necessary to follow-up and track babies is added in, program design becomes much more complex. Even the simplest of programs generates an astounding amount of data which can quickly overwhelm the capacity of a poorly conceived management system.
The purpose of this booklet is to assist in the selection and design of an Information Management System (IMS) that best suits the requirements of your EHDI program.
