What is the hospital’s responsibility for ensuring that infants have follow-up after hospital discharge?

0

The newborn hearing screening law (PL 2001, Chapter 373, C.26.2.-103.4 (c)) states that hospitals should have “guidelines for the provision of follow-up services for infants identified as having or being at risk of developing a hearing loss.” The law and current regulations do not indicate what form these guidelines should take or what activities should be considered sufficient. The EHDI program expects hospitals to determine and document their plan for ensuring follow-up and to evaluate the success of their plan. The EHDI program expects hospitals to ensure that their guidelines for ensuring follow-up are successful. Hospitals, primary care providers, the New Jersey EHDI program, and parents all bear some responsibility for ensuring that appropriate follow-up occurs.
