Alongside this, the NIPE programme requires a robust information support system to assure quality and provide a failsafe element to the newborn examination to help detect and prevent late or missed examinations and to track babies along the screening pathway. Information sharing and provision of a sound data base are central to the continued success of the programme. In 2014, the NIPE programme team began to roll out the use of the recommended NIPE Screening Management and Reporting Tools (NIPE SMART). IT system SMART provides a consistent means of gathering important data from the newborn examination. The system can also help with audit of performance against national standards and key performance indicators and can ensure a local and national failsafe. Since then, uptake across Trust in England has been very successful, and there are now 129 Trusts across England using the system (PHE 2019a). The NIPE programme team have been working hard to monitor and update the system in recent times and have incorporated some important changes in response to a review process in collaboration with users. The NIPE Screening Management and Recording and Reporting Tool (SMaRT4NIPE) IT system is a new version and has been available from 6 September 2019.
