The screening program operates with an automated, online system, according to DHCS.
"The basic operations of the program are managed using an online automated system for collecting, reporting, tracking and monitoring infant information," an RFP released on July 20 says.
The technical requirements specifications for the Data Management Service are summarized here.
Annual data from the California Newborn Hearing Screening Program is available here.
