a. Named submitters attending a birth in a
birthing facility will submit all initial hearing screening results
electronically through the Electronic Birth Certificate. Initial hearing
screening results submitted through the Electronic Birth Certificate will
include passed, missed, and failed screen results.
b. The initial screening result will be
submitted to the Department prior to the newborn's discharge from the birthing
facility, unless extenuating circumstances are present.
When there are extenuating circumstances, such as the newborn
receiving medical care through a neonatal intensive care unit, the initial
screening result will be submitted through the Electronic Birth Certificate no
later than 14 days after the newborn's birth or such later time as is medically
appropriate and documented in the newborn's medical record. Reporting after 14
days must be submitted to the health information data system.
2.
a. All other named submitters who perform the
initial newborn screening will submit initial hearing results electronically
through the Electronic Birth Certificate or through the Department approved
health information data system.
b.
Reports will be submitted in a timely manner, no later than 30 days after the
newborn's birth, unless extenuating circumstances are present.
When there are extenuating circumstances, the initial
screening result will be submitted by the health professional at such a time as
is deemed safe and practicable for the infant to receive the screening.
B. Named
submitters may enter newborn information and newborn hearing results for
newborns that moved to Colorado after their birth to support the provision of
follow-up services. This information is submitted to the health information
data system. It is not part of the Electronic Birth Certificate.
C. Named submitters who perform hearing
rescreening will provide hearing rescreen results electronically through the
Department approved data system. Results will be submitted in a timely manner.
Unless there are unusual extenuating circumstances, rescreening results will be
provided within 30 days of the newborn's birth. When there are extenuating
circumstances, the rescreen result will be submitted by the health professional
at such a time as is deemed safe and practicable for the infant to receive the
screening.
