Facility Certification Requirements
The Texas Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (TEHDI)program certifies facilities with newborn hearing screening programs according to the Texas Department of State Health Services and Texas Health and Safety Code certification criteria and best practices protocols.
Renewal of certification is conducted bi- annually in January and July and is based on standards measuring the facility’s performance against national and state performance averages.
There are four levels of certification: Preliminary (a new program), Provisional, Standard and Distinguished. We will add the Newborn Hearing Screening Program Protocols and Certification soon.
