Patient's question:
I see there are three screening personnel at the hospital. The nurse said they will arrange test personnel based on our discharge time. I would like to know what requirements there are for the personnel conducting the newborn hearing screening? Since it's so rushed, why doesn't the hospital hire more people?Doctor's answer:
Hospitals capable of conducting newborn hearing screening need to obtain the "Medical Institution Practice License" and possess obstetric or pediatric healthcare facilities. In addition, they must obtain the "Maternal and Child Healthcare Technology Service Practice License." Furthermore, there are two soundproof rooms that meet national standards (GB/T16403, GB/T16296). Additionally, the requirements for testing personnel are as follows: (1) The business person in charge should be a professional with a senior title, responsible for hearing diagnosis services. (2) Hearing test personnel should be professionals with more than 3 years of clinical experience in audiology or otolaryngology.
