CDC Worksite Health Scorecard—
New—National Center for Chronic

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is establishing the
Worksite Health Scorecard, an online
organizational assessment tool, to
enable employers to assess the number
of evidence-based health promotion

interventions or strategies in their
worksites to prevent heart disease,
stroke, and related conditions such as
hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. The
CDC Worksite Health Scorecard will
support small, mid-size, and large
employer with three primary goals: (1)
Reduce the risk of chronic disease
among employees and their families
through science-based workplace health
interventions and promising practices;
(2) Assist employers in identifying gaps
in their health promotion programs, and
help them to prioritize high-impact
strategies for health promotion at their
worksites; and (3) Increase
understanding of the organizational
programs, policies, and practices that
employers of various sizes and industry
sectors have implemented to support
healthy lifestyle behaviors and monitor
changes over time.
CDC will provide outreach to and
register approximately 600 employers
per year to use the online survey which
is open to employers of all sizes,
industry sectors, and geographic
locations across the country. Worksite
Health Scorecard users will create a user
account, complete the online
assessment and receive an immediate
feedback report that summarizes the
current status of their worksite health
program; identifies gaps in current
programming; benchmarks individual
employer results against other users of
the system; and provides access to
worksite health tools and resources to
address employer gaps and priority
program areas.
CDC will use the information
collected to evaluate the effectiveness of
the Worksite Health Scorecard in terms
of (1) identifying success drivers for
building and maintaining successful
workplace health programs; (2) raising
awareness and knowledge of sciencebased worksite health programs,
policies and practices; and (3) develop
additional worksite health tools and
resources for employers. The
information will also be used to
evaluate the impact of the CDC Worksite
Health Scorecard on employer adoption
of worksite health programs, policies,
and environmental supports.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation in the CDC Worksite
Health Scorecard is voluntary and there
are no costs to participants other than
their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 300.

Links to Service (EHDI-PALS) Survey
(0920–0955, Expiration 02/28/2014)—
Revision—National Center on Birth
Defects and Developmental Disabilities
(NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
The Division of Human Development
and Disability, located within NCBDDD,
promotes the health of babies, children,
and adults, with a focus on preventing
birth defects and developmental
disabilities and optimizing the health
outcomes of those with disabilities.
Since the passage of the Early Hearing
Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Act,
97% of newborn infants are now
screened for hearing loss prior to
hospital discharge. However, many of
these infants have not received needed
hearing tests and follow up services
after their hospital discharges. The 2011
national average loss to follow-up/loss
to documentation rate is at 35%. This
rate remains an area of critical concern
for state EHDI programs and CDC–EHDI
team’s goal of timely diagnosis by 3
months of age and intervention by 6
months of age.
Many states cite the lack of audiology
resources as the main factor behind the
high loss to follow up. To compound
the problem, many pediatric
audiologists may be proficient
evaluating children age 5 and older but
are not proficient with diagnosing

infants or younger children because
children age 5 and younger require a
different skill set.
No existing literature or database was
available to help states verify and
quantify their states’ true follow up
capacity until this project went live in
2013.
Meeting since April 2010, the EHDIPALS workgroup has sought consensus
on the loss to follow up/loss to
documentation issue facing the EHDI
programs. A survey based on standard
of care practice was developed for state
EHDI programs to quantify the pediatric
audiology resource distribution within
their state, particularly audiology
facilities that are equipped to provide
follow up services for children age 5
and younger. After nine months of data
collection, preliminary data suggested
that children residing in certain regions
of the United States who were loss to
follow up were due to the distance
parents had to travel to reach a pediatric
audiology facility. For example, parents
who reside in western region of
Nebraska and Iowa on average have to
drive over 100 miles to reach a pediatric
audiology facility.
CDC is requesting an Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to continue collecting
audiology facility information from
audiologists or facility managers so both
parents, physicians and state EHDI
programs will have a tool to find where
