Statewide Newborn Screening Surveillance System

The South Dakota
Department of Health (DOH) is seeking information regarding a comprehensive
statewide newborn screening surveillance system. The system is expected to
facilitate the collection, integration, management, and monitoring of data from
multiple sources, including vital records, hospitals, audiologists, midwives,
and the Iowa State Hygienic Laboratory. Currently, the DOH processes
approximately 12,000 newborns annually, each requiring both bloodspot and
hearing screenings.

The objective of this
Request for Information (RFI) is to gather knowledge about available
surveillance systems, their technical capabilities, features, scalability,
interoperability, and associated costs. This RFI is strictly exploratory,
intended to understand the current market landscape and potential solutions.
The information collected will help inform the design and scope of a future
Request for Proposals (RFP), should the department decide to pursue
procurement. Participation in this RFI does not constitute a commitment by the
DOH to procure any services, supplies, or solutions.
