Variable	Variable Abbreviation	Definition	Decision Maker Takeaway
Total Occurrent Birth	Birth	Total births reported to the EHDI program	This metric keeps track of the program load and resouce allocation.
Total Screened	Tscr	Total babies who entered the EHDI program (had inpatient and/or outpatient screening)	This metric tracks the total number of screened infants and provides insights into program reach and effectiveness.
Total Not Screened	TNscr	Total babies who did enter the EHDI program	This metric keeps track of infants who were not screened is crucial for ensuring comprehensive coverage.
No Initial/Passed Outpatient	NoInPaOut	Total babies who did not receive an initial screening, missed an initial screening, or refused an initial screening, and passed the outpatient screening	This metric accounts for those children who, for some reason, had missed initial screening and will help the authority to address fixable causes.
No Initial/Referred Outpatient	NoInReOut	Total babies who did not receive an initial screening, missed an initial screening, or refused an initial screening, and did not pass the outpatient screening	This metric enables decision makers to make informed decisions based on this metric, as it highlights children who need attention, guiding resource allocation and program improvements.
Passed Initial/Passed Outpatient	PaInPaOut	Total babies who passed the initial screening and passed the outpatient screening both	This metric helps keep track of children that can be considered no any abnormalities.
Passed Initial/Referred Outpatient	PaInReOut	Total babies who passed the initial screening and did not pass the outpatient screening	This metric is important in keeping track of children whom system should provide special attention.
Passed Initial/No Outpatient	PaInNoOut	Total babies who passed the initial screening and, did not receive an outpatient screening, missed an outpatient screening or refused an outpatient screening	This metric is one of the pillar to visualize about the actual number of children need special attention out of the screening program who are potential suspected of having hearing loss.
Referred Initial/Passed Outpatient	ReInPaOut	Total babies who did not pass the initial screening and passed the outpatient screening	This metric help track of the actual beneficiaries of outpatient service.
Referred Initial/Referred Outpatient	ReInReOut	Total babies who did not pass the initial screening and did not pass the outpatient screening	This metric is of high importance as this tells us the burden of potential hearing loss cases.
Referred Initial/No Outpatient	ReInNoOut	Total babies who did not pass the initial screening and did not receive an outpatient screening, missed an outpatient screening, or refused an outpatient screening	Policy makers should make informed decision based on reason of no outpatient to increase further enrollement.
Referred Initial/Straight to Diagnostics Evaluation	ReInStDia	Total babies who failed inpatient hearing screening and were referred directly for diagnostic evaluation	This metric help tack of resource allocation to the diagnostic services.
Total Passed Last Screening	TotPas	Total babies who passed their final/most recent screening (inpatient/outpatient)	This gives an idea of the most recent/final screening and its turnout. (These babies passed their most recent/final screening inpatient/outpatient and they do not go to diagnostics and are determined as having no hearing loss )
Total Not Passed Last Screening	TotNotPas	Total babies who did not pass their final/most recent screening (inpatient/outpatient)	This metric represents the key babies in the EHDI program who have failed their most recent/final screening and are ready for diagnostics. (Inpatient and/or outpatient)
Total Passed Before 1 Month of Age	TotPas1	Total babies who passed their final/most recent screening (inpatient/outpatient) before 1 month of age	This gives an idea of passing the most recent/final screening by 1 month of age, where a goal of EHDI is to have all infants screened for hearing loss before 1 month.
Total Not Passed Before 1 Month of Age	TotNotPas1	Total babies who did not pass their final/most recent screening (inpatient/outpatient) before 1 month of age	This gives an idea of not passing the most recent/final screening by 1 month of age, where a goal of EHDI is to have all infants screened for hearing loss before 1 month.
Loss to Follow-Up	LTF	Total babies who were lost to follow-up after not passing their screening, and documented as one of three reasons (parents/family contacted but unresponsive, unable to contact or unknown status)	This metric will help track those who were lost to follow for the screening and diagnostics and help decision makers to focus on improving the enrollment.
Total Diagnosed	TDia	Total babies who received a diagnosis either no hearing loss, transient hearing loss, or permanent hearing loss	Monitoring this number says more about the program turnout rate and effectiveness.
Total Diagnosed Before 3 Months of Age	TDia3	Total babies who received a diagnosis before 3 months of ageeither no hearing loss, transient hearing loss, or permanent hearing loss	Monitoring this number says more about the program turnout rate and effectiveness regarding aim of diagnosis before 3 months of age.
Total With Hearing Loss	HL	Total babies who have been diagnosed with permanent hearing loss	Identifying the total number of infants diagnosed with hearing loss helps assess the impact of early intervention efforts.
Total With No Hearing Loss	NHL	Total babies who have been diagnosed as having normal hearing or transient hearing loss	Knowing the number of babies diagnosed as not having hearing loss is important for program evaluation and resource allocation.
Total Hearing Loss Diagnosed Before 3 Months of Age	HL3	Total babies who have been diagnosed with permanent hearing loss before 3 months of age	This age-stratified metric will help policy makers to intervene and address the hearing loss cases before 3 months of age as the program aims.
Total With No Hearing Loss Diagnosed Before 3 Months of Age	NHL3	Total babies who have been diagnosed as having normal hearing or transient hearing loss before 3 months of age	This age-stratified metric will help policy makers identify diagnoses of no hearing loss made before 3 months of age as the program aims.
Total Enrolled in EI (Part C)	ToEnrEIPC	Total enrollment in early intervention (Part C)	This metric aids in the equitable allocation of resources for early intervention within Part C.
Total Enrolled in EI (Non-Part C)	ToEnrEINPC	Total enrollment in early intervention (Non-Part C)	This metric assists in assessing the strength of enrollment in early intervention among non-Part C participants.
Total Enrolled in EI Before 6 Months of Age (Part C)	ToEnrEI6PC	Total enrollment in early intervention before 6 months of age (Part C)	This metric plays a crucial role in helping decision-makers allocate resources effectively for both Part C and non-Part C participants, especially focusing on early intervention services for infants within Part C.
Total Enrolled in EI Before 6 Months of Age (Non-Part C)	ToEnrEI6NPC	Total enrollment in early intervention before 6 months of age (Non-Part C)	The enrollment numbers derived from this metric provide valuable insights for decision-makers to make informed choices regarding the age group of children to target.
