CCHD is looking for information on how other counties use SPDS/birth certificates. We have been entering de-identified information from birth certs into a data base, but it is somewhat duplicative of the reports that can already be pulled directly from the application. We also call first-time mothers and offer them a home visit, but we have only had one-two accept visits this past year. (Healthy Families and Early Head Start do a great job in this area so there is a decreasing need for us to provide this service). Any thoughts/information on how we can maximize this resource would be greatly appreciated.
