Wisconsin hospitals make major strides in newborn screening
Ellen Gabler of the Journal Sentinel reports: "Wisconsin hospitals have vastly improved how quickly they send newborn screening samples to the state lab, where babies are tested for rare yet deadly disorders.Last month, 98% of newborn screening samples arrived at the state lab within three days of when blood was collected. That's compared to 89% of samples in March 2012." (JOURNAL SENTINEL, 4/23)
