Mexico’s Ministry of Health of Nuevo Leon has chosen the e-Screener Plus (eSP) by Dallas, Tex.-based OZ Systems to manage the state’s newborn hearing and metabolic screening programs.
Every Ministry of Health public hospital in Nuevo Leon will use the solution with the aim of improving follow-up care for more than 30,000 infants each year.
“We’re implementing this program to ensure that every baby born in a Ministry of Health facility in Neuvo Leon is being screened at an early age and identified for any medical problems,” said Jesus Zacarias Villareal Perez, minister of health for Nuevo Leon.
The cloud-based eSP solution offers data management and communications capabilities. Once an infant tests positive for a medical problem, the solution will allow providers to effectively manage the care and treatment of the infant, noted Perez.
“We’re looking forward to building our relationship with the Ministry of Health of Nuevo Leon, and ensuring positive outcomes for newborns across the state,” Terese Finitzo, PhD and CEO of OZ Systems, said.
