発表の要約: Early detection and habilitative intervention for children born with severe to profound hearing loss enables linguistic and cognitive development on par with that of hearing peers. Failing, however, to identify and provide intervention services as early as possible, can result in language acquisition and cognitive developmental delays which subsequently threaten to impact the individual’s level of academic achievement, career opportunities, and social wellbeing (Pimperton et al. ,2016), (Cupples et al. ,2018), (Geers et al. ,2019). Thus, a carefully designed and implemented newborn hearing screening and follow up program functions to drastically reduce the developmental, social, emotional, and economic, impact of newborn hearing loss. This presentation will outline a currently planned use of Moodle for managing the prefecture-wide newborn hearing screening program in Shizuoka prefecture. The system, currently under development, will be used for recording newborn hearing screening results, followup testing for children receiving a referral on their screening, and as a system for providing therapeutic advice and overall support to the families of children with hearing impairment. A QR code system designed to streamline the entry of anonymized data and allow for realtime tracking of epidemiological trends will be introduced. Additionally, the planned incorporation of a tracking tool for infants and children with hearing impairment, the Functional Listening Index - Pediatric, will be introduced and discussed. Currently identified challenges with the system under development, such as data entry and its secure maintenance, will also be discussed. The presentation will end with a short question and answer session during which feedback from attendees will be requested. Attendee feedback will be welcomed and will be utilized to make improvements to the system being developed. ---------- Bibliography ---------- Cupples, L. , Ching, T. Y.
