Subsequent diagnosis and intervention should follow promptly. Within the framework of the Ministry of Health project CCM 2013 &quot;Preventing Communication Disorders: a Regional Program for early Identification, Intervention and Care of Hearing Impaired Children&quot;, the limitations and strengths of current UNHS programs in Italy have been analysed by a group of professionals working in tertiary centres involved in regional UNHS programmes, using SWOT analysis and a subsequent TOWS matrix. Coverage and lost-to-follow up rates are issues related to UNHS programmes. Recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the UNHS programme have been identified. The need for homogeneous policies, high-quality information and dissemination of knowledge for operators and families of hearing-impaired children emerged from the discussion.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27054385?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
