State coordinators of early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) programs completed a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, or SWOT, analysis that examined 12 areas within EHDI programs. Forty-seven coordinators listed 242 items in the area of data management, and themes were identified in each category. A threats, opportunities, weaknesses, and strengths, or TOWS, analysis yielded 12 recommendations that focused on similar themes. Out of these 12 recommendations, 3 strategies emerged: 1) address problems related to sharing data and/or link data systems; 2) maintain and/or upgrade existing systems that are flexible, web-based, streamline data entry, and accessible by those who need it; and 3) implement a quality monitoring program from the data collected to improve systems. Addressed appropriately, these recommendations can strengthen data management in the EHDI system. (Contains 6 tables.)
