Description:Starting in the 1980s, the Directors of Speech and Hearing Program in State Health and Welfare Agencies (DSHPSHWA) became involved with supporting newborn hearing screening efforts and sought to establish standards for the collection of national data. To help accomplish this, DSHPSHWA convened a task force in 1995 with representatives from the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH), the National Consortium on Universal Infant Hearing Screening, state health agency speech and hearing directors, and representatives from companies involved in data and tracking programs for infant hearing screening. This task force sought to:
• Develop a standardized, national data set that could be collected by states and individual hospitals
• Establish an accessible collection site for data input and inquiry
• Work toward adopting a basic data set for all stakeholders
In addition to convening this task force, DSHPSHWA released position statements in 1994 and 1996 supporting universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS). Today, DSHPSHWA is active in national maternal and child health issues and includes members from nearly every state.
