The document is the final report on the implementation of the 21 recommendations of the January 2013 quality improvement review of a screening event in the UNHSEIP.
This document (previously referred to as Appendix F) details key procedural elements and technical specifications required for the provision of audiologic assessment and amplification to babies and pre-school children identified through the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening and Early Intervention Programme (UNHSEIP).
This document updates the UNHSEIP Monitoring Framework, September 2009. Consistent with a maturing programme, the new framework shifts the focus of monitoring from the screening process to greater consideration of outcomes across the programme pathway and performance against international benchmarks. Indicators have been aligned with the change in the screening protocol to automated auditory brainstem response (aABR) screening only.
