Newborn Screening Policy Decisions: Adding Conditions

Abstract:
Policy decisions about mandated newborn screening should be based on scientific evidence and incorporate expert opinion. At the national level, a systematic evidence review evaluates the benefit of screening for disorders that may be added to the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel, and ultimately considered by individual newborn screening programs. Recent changes in state laws, including in North Carolina, are intended to streamline the decision-making process for newborn screening policy changes.
