Data Integration for Hearing Conservation: SIDPERS to DOERHS-HC

LTC Vickie Tuten

The significant increase in hearing monitoring that is now occurring due to deployments/ redeployments pushes our technicians who run the DOEHRS-HC system to become increasingly more efficient. Fort Bragg has successfully mastered the process of demographic imports from SIDPERS into DOEHRS-HC. This saves significant time during the input process and reduces errors. The overall result is less stress for the audiometric technicians and a more efficient process. During this presentation we will provide information that will allow installation Hearing Conservation Program Managers to go back and interface with their Information Management Personnel to put this in place at their respective installations. Although CHCS II and DOEHRS-HC interface anticipated in the future may provide this same end result, this may be a good interim solution to implement.
