The information on this page was taken from the OZ systems pages OZ Systems SIMS© (Screening and Information Management Solution) is a Windows™-based, child-centricpatient information management system designed to track the newborn through each component of the EHDI process, from Birth Screening to Follow-up/Diagnosis to Intervention. SIMS© software is a safe and efficient method of managing and evaluating your newborn hearing screening information. Birth Screening Results Acquire data electronically from most testing technologies and incorporate all the results of testing automatically into the baby’s record. Eliminate data entry errors. SIMS© Care Status enables you to identify at a quick glance, the services the patient has received, the outcome of the services, and future services needed. Tracking, Follow-up and Diagnosis Overcome the reporting and follow-up challenges experienced by most newborn screening programs. SIMS© generates user-defined reports automatically for caregivers involved in an infant’s care: parents, hospital staff, audiologists, physicians, insurers, educators, and others. SIMS© lets you know when a baby’s next evaluation is past due, missed, or not scheduled. OZ Systems SIMS© maintains comprehensive records for the life of the patient and provides easy access to the information needed to follow-up and track infants needing further evaluation. Program Quality and Evaluation Maintain the information to demonstrate accountability as required by accrediting bodies such as Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and the National Committee for Quality Assurance. SIMS© monitors:
Program Accountability Meet federal regulations and professional guidelines. Monitor the benchmarks suggested by the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH) 2000 Principles for EHDI (JCIH Statement). SIMS©’ reports and aging analyses also keep track of information required by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Title V Program and requested by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Data Security and Confidentiality SIMS© provides data encryption and secure data transfer. As Patient Confidentiality is of the highest importance to OZ Systems, we are prepared to meet and remain current with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations on security and confidentiality of health care information. |

- The web-related technologies are slowly entering into the OAE field. OZ systems has announced a new generation of newborn screening information management system, called ESP (e-screener plus). The advantage of the new technology is that it can be installed in a main server and then used as a web application by a number of PCs. An electronic brochure of the new program can be downloaded from here.
