This has nothing to do with informatics other than I posted it. This is my cute granddaughter Emorie, fondly called "Emmy" by her family.
Database for Early Intervention
I work for a Early Intervention program in Utah. The state has developed a data base system to track compliance areas. I said in my previous post that this was just recently implemented, but when I checked into the details I realized this process has been in the works since 2006. It still feels like it is new to me. You would think that in 4 years all the bugs would be worked out. The thing about information systems is that they are constantly being re-evaluated and changed. I recently have started to consider the things that the system could do for "Nursing" in Early Intervention. I am now starting to communicate with the state office about pertinent data that could be gathered and used to improve the way we can provide services to children and families. One example is that the State currently gathers diagnosis information for children who automatically qualify for Early Intervention. I think we should collect diagnosis on all children to see if there are diagnosis' that should be added to our list. It would also give a better picture of the types of children we serve.
You have the cutest grandkids ever!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Amanda,
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see your cute granddaughter- I have 2 myself, going on 4! I think that utilizing a statewide database for qualified children under the early intervention program will facilate the screening of children who will benefit from such program. The state also has one (USIS) for immunization program where we can access the records of children's vaccinations whose records are in the system. It just facilitates the procedure so much better instead of calling parents and schools for their records.Thanks!
Thanks for sharing.
