The Genetic Diseases Program of the Illinois Department of Public Health has completed the requirements for automation of its newborn screening follow-up services. The integration of two databases containing laboratory and follow-up elements allows the system to: (1) process on-line information about both normal and abnormal results on every baby screened in Illinois, (2) recall data previously entered and add follow-up criteria, (3) generate form letters, (4) track treatment and developmental progress of confirmed clients, (5) maintain permanent demographic registries, (6) transfer records to microfiche, and (7) generate reports for statistical analysis. The intent of this paper is to describe each of the above capabilities and demonstrate how automation has enhanced the follow-up component of newborn screening.
伊利诺伊州公共卫生部的遗传疾病项目已完成其新生儿筛查后续服务自动化的要求。两个包含实验室和后续跟踪要素的数据库整合后，该系统能够：（1）处理伊利诺伊州每例接受筛查婴儿的正常和异常结果的在线信息；（2）调出先前输入的数据并添加后续跟踪标准；（3）生成格式信函；（4）跟踪确诊患者的治疗和发育进展；（5）维护永久性人口登记册；（6）将记录转存到缩微胶片；（7）生成用于统计分析的报告。本文旨在描述上述各项功能，并展示自动化如何提升了新生儿筛查的后续跟踪环节。
