1 Health Information Technology Survey for Newborn Screening Programs SUMMARY DATA REPORT NOVEMBER 2014

2 The development of this report was 100% supported with federal funds from a $975,000 Cooperative Agreement #U22MC24078 from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and a $1.4 million Cooperative Agreement #U60HM from CDC. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of HRSA or CDC. Copyright 2014, Association of Public Health Laboratories. All Rights Reserved.

3 Purpose The Association of Public Health Laboratories Newborn Screening Technical assistance and Evaluation Program (NewSTEPs) wanted to assess the current status of the implementation of health information technology (HIT) within Newborn Screening (NBS) programs and identify gaps and barriers to NBS HIT implementation. In addition, the APHL NBS HIT workgroup was in the process of assessing HIT needs among NBS programs. The survey served as a first step in determining this baseline information and to shape the technical assistance resources and tools that the workgroup can provide. Methods APHL staff from both the Informatics program and the Newborn Screening and Genetics program, along with member HIT experts, contributed to the development of the survey. One representative from each NBS program in the country received the survey electronically, with respondents encouraged to seek information from other individuals (including HIT personnel) when completing the survey. The 29 question survey remained open for response for 31 days, between November 13, 2013 and January 3, Newborn Screening HIT Survey Report 1

Short-term follow-up This is only with the Mayo Clinic who completes some of the newborn screening testing We are receiving NBS results automatically from the lab and sharing the results with physicians via a web-based portal. We share the Neometrics database with the Early Hearing Detection & Intervention (EHDI) program, Follow-up and lab.

10 Other responses No reports Specimen timing errors, transit errors, collected Result reporting, Samples received by laboratory, Statistics for Health departments on number of births, number of disease cases, etc. Individual specimen metric Web portal is in development and not implemented at this time. Multiple reports run daily to assist with short term follow-up plus quarterly quality assurance and missing demographic reports that are sent to hospitals.

View only 6 46% Download of a report (PDF, Word) 10 77% Download of data 4 31% Other (please specify) 5 38% Other responses NBS is able to edit specified fields Individual results Web portal is in development and not implemented at this time. Depends on your access/security level and need State NBS program can print directly from lab. Cannot save as a file. 8 ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH LABORATORIES

11 25. What internet browser(s) does your NBS program use (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc.)? Please provide version numbers. Answer Response Internet Explorer (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) 28 Firefox 6 Chrome 4 Safari 1 CITRIX based platform NewSTEPs plans to allow submission through a comma separated value (CSV) file transfer. Will you be able to submit data this way (N=31)? 6 Yes 21 68% No 10 32% Total % 27. If you cannot use CSV file transfer, please describe why you cannot. NewSTEPs wants to work with you to determine how you can best transfer data (N=7). 7 Responses Any data transfer would require the Office of General Counsel and the HIPPA officer approval so we are unsure at this point if we could upload using CSV files. As the Program Chief, I would be compiling reports to submit, completely de-identified. Because using a regional lab means that some babies' info is obtained in more than one state, I would also need to decide which state is going to report on a specific baby. I would prefer to use the method I used before, which was submitting select individual data. State NBS program would probably be able to submit aggregate data as requested, such as numbers screened in a year, etc. CSV file creation and transfer is not currently available in our system and would require further development and cost. Development and transfer of an HL7 file would require less additional development. I presumably can use a CSV file to transfer, but not presently able to generate the reports. I am working with Natus to create universal reports that might be used by any State using Natus data system. System does not create CSV files. Use of CSV discontinued, working to replace with HL7 We have not fully resolved which data we will be sharing with NewSTEPs. We do upload date into R4S using CSV but Neometrics does not export data via CSV and we use an excel Macro to convert the files. All Neometrics data is currently being mapped to LOINC and HL7 for the electronic messaging, this may be a more viable option for transmitting data to NewSTEPs. 6 Two programs did not respond 7 Three programs did not respond Newborn Screening HIT Survey Report 9

12 28. Please rank your top three NBS IT related challenges in order of importance (1=most important, N=31): 8 Question Total Responses Competing priorities Lack of funding to make improvements or upgrades Lack of IT expertise Unclear value of investment System does not support data transfer System does not support LOINC and SNOMED codes Integration with hospital systems is too complex Not enough time to make required changes Other responses Although we recognize these as challenges, it has not prevented us from moving ahead. Integration and adaptation of LOINC codes Confidentiality 29. Please rank your unmet NBS IT related workforce needs in order of importance with 1 being most important and 5 being least important (N=31). 9 Question Total Responses Workforce and services to map test names and test results to LOINC and SNOMED codes Laboratory person to bridge knowledge between IT and Informaticians Computer/IT Personnel Person to lead upgrade Staff trained on how to use the LIMs Two programs did not respond 9 Two programs did not respond 10 ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH LABORATORIES

13 Other responses I am the only FTE in my program, with limited administrative support. There is no assigned IT person, and when I have needs must compete with the rest of the department for IT support. It is unclear what you mean by unmet. We are doing these. None of the above needs are unmet, although additional resources would expedite the process. Staff to assist with new project testing; Staff to assist with ongoing change validations.
