Cleveland Clinic Children's Outcomes

Congenital hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is not functioning properly or hasn’t formed. This causes a deficit of thyroid hormone which is critical to brain development in children less than 3 years of age. We have created a dashboard within our EMR that is helping us now more closely track these patients to make sure they are being seen so that their growth and development can be monitored as well as making sure they are getting lab work done in a timely manner to maximize treatment and prevent developmental delays.
