  5. Accomplishments • Second screen project (almost…) • Health Information Technology (HIT) Workgroup: Collaborative NLM IT initiative (LOINC) • Evaluation of novel molecular technologies • Monitorng of CDC QA/QC materials for LSD and SCID testing • Recommended direct comparison of alternative LSD testing technologies

  6. Committee Changes • A new chair: Fred Lowry • A new name: Laboratory and Information Technology Subcommittee • Evolution of scope of committee • Increasing role of information technology in NBS infrastructure

  7. Scope of Work • Newborn screening applications and technology are likely to be all consuming in the near future • There are other age windows for screening, but too much to deal with currently

  8. Wide Ranging Possibilities • Reviewing new enabling/disruptive technologies • Provide guidance for states making decisions about implement new screening tests • Comparative performance metrics • Overview of technologies • Discussion of point of origin vs. traditional NBS screening labs • Etc...

  9. Subcomittee Goals • Establish process for regular review and revision of the standard panel • Remove disorders • Alter status from secondary to primary target • Recommend specific changes to technology when indicated • Tyrosinemia 1 • Succinylacetone • Continued activity of HIT workgroup • Monitoring new technologies
