Last February NCHAM published the first issue of the Journal of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (JEHDI) as part of our efforts to disseminate information about how to continually improve EHDI programs. The aim of the JEHDI is to promote access to evidence-based practice, standards of care, and research focused on all aspects of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention. Taking a broad systems perspective, the JEHDI focuses on newborn and early childhood hearing screening, diagnosis, family support, early intervention, the medical home, information management, financing, quality improvement and other key factors critical for an effective EHDI system.
Since the first issue of JEHDI was released NCHAM has had 1,102 different people visit the JEHDI home page. NCHAM is now gearing up for the second issue that will be released in September.
