    • Choosing Gender identity for infants

      For the Hearing Screen measure- the initial population is Male or female only - This is sometimes not completed in the chart. - Perhaps this intentional on the parent's part on assigning gender identity at the time of birth.

      Has there been any discussion about filling in the blanks for file submission / rejection for this type of situation?

      Should we ask our vendor for special fields for this type of situation to alleviate this for the future?
