Automated newborn screening results reporting
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method in a clinical computing environment for communicating a newborn screening result to one or more recipients, the method comprising:
- receiving a newborn screening result at a newborn screening manager, wherein the newborn screening manager is configured to communicate with at least one of a state laboratory performing newborn screening and a state office responsible for coordinating newborn screening results;
storing the newborn screening result;
identifying one or more recipients of the newborn screening result;
communicating the newborn screening result to the one or more recipients by;
providing a notification of an availability of the newborn screen result to the one or more recipients,receiving, from at least one of the one or more recipients, a request to access the newborn screening result, andcommunicating the newborn screening result to the at least one of the one or more recipients based on the request;
determining that the newborn screening result has not been accessed by at least one of the one or more recipients within a predetermined period of time after providing the notification of the availability of the newborn screening result;
generating an alert notification based on determining that the newborn screening result has not been accessed within the predetermined period of time; and

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for facilitating the electronic collection and dissemination of newborn screening results to identified and/or default recipients of the results. A newborn screening manager may be provided to receive and store newborn screening results in an associated database. The newborn screening results may then be communicated electronically to any number of recipients of the results. In some cases, a notification may be provided to the recipients, indicating that the newborn screening results are available to be reviewed. The recipients may then access and review the results.

16. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media storing computer-useable instructions that when used by one or more first computing devices cause the one or more first computing devices to perform a method for facilitating the collection and dissemination of newborn screening results, the method comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of orders for newborn screening results; communicating at least one first work queue to one or more second computing devices of a testing laboratory, the at least one first work queue allowing laboratory personnel to view orders pending entry of newborn screening results, the first work queue also allowing laboratory personnel to enter newborn screening results; receiving newborn screening results via the at least one first work queue; associating the newborn screening results with corresponding orders; storing the newborn screening results in a central database; providing an electronic notification of availability of newborn screening results to recipients associated with the orders; providing access to the newborn screening results in the central database when requested by recipients; automatically tracking whether recipients have accessed newborn screening results from the central database; determining that a first newborn screening result has not been accessed by at least one recipient within a predetermined period of time after providing notification of availability of the first newborn screening result; generating an alert notification based on determining that the first newborn screening result has not been accessed within the predetermined period of time; communicating the alert notification to at least one selected from the following;
a state laboratory and a state office ; andcommunicating at least one second work queue to one or more third computing devices of the state office responsible for a newborn screening program, the second work queue allowing state personnel to view newborn screening results pending review by a recipient.
