Five hospitals have sustained 6 months of unsatisfactory specimens below 2%:

  • Eastern Oklahoma Medical Center
  • INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center
  • INTEGRIS Southwest Medical Center
  • Saint Francis Hospital
  • St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center.

Seven hospitals have sustained unsatisfactory specimens below 2% in 5 out of 6 months:

  • Bailey Medical Center
  • Hillcrest Hospital Claremore
  • Lakeside Women’s Center
  • Norman Regional Health System
  • Stillwater Medical Center.
  • The Children’s Hospital at OUMC

Your diligence helps reduce the occurrences of missed or delayed diagnosis and therefore reduce morbidity or mortality in newborns. For more information on NBS visit our website.
