Equally important , however, is that data generated through a comprehensive reporting, tracking, and follow-up system provides the basis for measuring a state’s EHDI program’s effectiveness, validity, progress, outcomes, strengths, and weaknesses. In Oklahoma, the EHDI program is housed at the Oklahoma Newborn Hearing Screening Program at the Oklahoma State Department of Health. “Loss to follow-up” (LTFU) is a challenging issue facing the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) system nationally. LTFU occurs when a baby does not receive the recommended follow-up services. Another group of babies about which EHDI programs are missing data are those classified as “loss to documentation” (LTD) Babies in this group are those who have received services, but results have not been reported to the EHDI program, and therefore, cannot be documented. EHDI programs around the country are working diligently to reduce the numbers babies that are LTFU/LTD. As a follow-up provider, you are a key stakeholder! To ensure that infants receive services, please report all hearing results of children seen at your location. Oklahoma is doing a great job in facing this challenging issue!!!!!!
