About this Scenario
Babies with a confirmed diagnosis of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) are at risk of serious complications within the first few days or weeks of life and often require emergency care.
Receipt of CCHD test screening results in near real-time from the state’s birthing hospitals helps the state to improve beneficiary consumer health and reduce consumer healthcare costs through early detection.
The “Newborn Screening – CCHD” use case scenario is under the Lab Orders-Results use case.
