• Provide interoperability between clinical EHR and EHDI systems for increased efficiency and better data quality
• Automate data collection required to support quality improvement
• Reduce the burden of quality reporting on EHR systems
• Better orchestrate the coordination of hearing care across multiple organizations involved in care delivery and public health
