  3. Statement of Purpose • Source of Statistical Data • Surveillance of Birth Defects Trends • Permit Research into Etiology • Enable Referral to Needed Services

  4. Reportable Conditions • Congenital Anomalies • Excludes only minor conditions • Other Conditions that Associate • Immune/Metabolic Deficiencies • Other Abnormalities • Infectious Disease Exposures • Syphilis/Rubella/CMV/etc • Maternal Exposures • Alcohol/Drugs/Toxic Agents

  11. Significant Issues • Hospital and Lab Based • Limited to under 2 Years • No Interstate Exchange • Live Births only until 2004 • Passive Reporting

  12. Findings of 2003 Data Quality Audit • Completeness of 92% • Diagnostic Reporting Accuracy of 97.8% • False Positive Rate of 1.2%

  13. Quality Improvement Activities • Facility Monitoring • Reports Received/Expected • Target Suspect Facilities • Conduct Facility Audits • Case-finding • Re-abstracting • Repeat Statewide Assessment • Evaluate 2005 reporting
