Postrelational database implementation for newborn screening and tracking.
Development of microcomputer based systems for the management of data in newborn screening programs has posed special difficulties. This paper describes the specific requirements for implementing an effective newborn screening database system using a unique postrelational database system. This system has been developed by Neometrics Inc. for use by laboratories engaged in running high volume newborn screening programs, and is currently operational in a number of state health laboratories.
