From fragmented spreadsheets and unreliable legacy systems to a unified collaborative platform - how SMART® CDMIS gives public health agencies total visibility into every child's health journey
SMART® CDMIS (Collaborative Data Management Information System) brings statewide child health data management into one centralized platform. It replaces fragmented spreadsheets, incompatible legacy databases, and unreliable systems like ChildLINK with a single source of truth that connects hospitals, laboratories, audiologists, state agencies, and community partners - giving every stakeholder a coherent, longitudinal view of the children and families they serve.
Beyond basic record keeping, SMART® CDMIS actively closes the gaps that cause children to fall through the cracks. AI-powered case routing flags high-risk children based on screening results and demographic patterns. Automated multi-source data ingestion pulls records from birth registries, hospital discharge systems, and laboratory feeds - eliminating manual entry errors. Real-time dashboards give program directors instant visibility into screening pass rates, follow-up completion, and population-level health trends, replacing the ad hoc Excel exports that once delayed critical decisions.
Built on NebuLogic's award-winning, low-code SMART® ICE framework, SMART® CDMIS is trusted by state agencies in Maine, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Vermont - replacing legacy infrastructure with a platform that deploys in approximately 90 days, not the 18-to-24-month timelines common with custom-built alternatives.
A Collaborative Data Management Information System (CDMIS) is a specialized government-grade platform for managing population-level child health screening programs - distinct from a standard electronic health record (EHR). Where an EHR is built around individual patient encounters, SMART® CDMIS is designed for surveillance, longitudinal tracking, multi-agency data sharing, and regulatory compliance reporting across an entire jurisdiction - connecting hospitals, labs, state agencies, and community providers into one unified data ecosystem for program oversight and public health decision-making.
SMART® CDMIS consolidates data from hospitals, laboratories, audiology centers, and birth registries into a single, unified participant record - from newborn bloodspot screening and audiology results through long-term follow-up care and multi-agency case management. Program directors get real-time dashboards and exportable compliance reports. Case managers get full lifecycle tracking with referral coordination. IT teams get low-code configuration instead of custom development. And every layer of the platform - HIPAA, FIPA, Section 508, NIST 800-53, and FedRAMP - is built into the architecture from day one, not added on afterward.
SMART® CDMIS functions as the central data hub for a state's child health program. Data flows in automatically from birth and death certificate registries, hospital discharge records, laboratory screening results, and audiology reports - eliminating manual entry and ensuring near-real-time record accuracy. Auto-generated unique identifiers keep participants, households, and siblings linked while reducing duplicate records. As results arrive, this collaborative data management information system uses AI-powered case creation and routing to flag high-risk children based on screening results and demographic patterns - reducing manual triage effort and accelerating time-to-intervention for the children who need it most.
This government child health data platform then supports the full case lifecycle - from intake through closure, with referral tracking, scheduling, and multi-agency coordination across hospitals, specialists, and follow-up providers. Configurable role-based access ensures each stakeholder sees exactly the data relevant to their function, nothing more. Program directors monitor screening pass rates, diagnostic outcomes, and facility performance through real-time dashboards, while the built-in ad hoc query builder lets analysts explore data without writing a line of SQL. When it's time to report, pre-built templates generate CDC, HRSA, and state compliance reports with one click.
Built from modular, pre-configured components that connect hospitals, labs, agencies, and providers in one collaborative platform for government child health programs
Consolidate data from hospitals, labs, audiology centers, birth registries, and EHR systems into a single unified participant record - eliminating silos and enabling true longitudinal care tracking.
Intelligent case creation and routing based on screening results and risk patterns reduces manual triage effort by up to 60% - accelerating time-to-intervention for at-risk children.
HIPAA, FIPA, Section 508, NIST 800-53, and FedRAMP compliance are built into the platform architecture - with role-based access, audit logging, and encryption ensuring regulatory readiness from day one.
Live dashboards track screening pass rates, diagnostic outcomes, and follow-up completion - exportable to Excel, CSV, PDF, or Word for regulatory reporting in one click.
Measurable outcomes for government health programs - not just data storage, but a platform that transforms how agencies deliver, measure, and improve child health programs statewide
AI-powered case routing and anomaly detection flag high-risk children faster - connecting families with specialist care before conditions escalate and critical windows close.
Federated access controls and standards-based integration connect hospitals, labs, and state departments in a shared ecosystem - turning week-long email chains into real-time collaboration.
Automated ingestion, intelligent routing, and self-service reporting eliminate manual work - while low-code configuration reduces IT development costs and total cost of ownership.
Real-time dashboards and audit-ready compliance reports give program directors the evidence they need to secure funding and demonstrate effectiveness to legislative bodies and federal grantors.
From automated data ingestion to case closure and federal reporting - every step of a child's health data journey tracked, documented, and reportable in one connected system.
Data flows in automatically from birth registries, hospital discharge records, and lab feeds - auto-generated identifiers link participants, households, and siblings

Continuous AI monitoring flags unmatched records and high-risk cases for human review before they become compliance issues
Case managers coordinate referrals across specialists and follow-up providers - all working from one shared, role-based participant record
Configurable role-based access lets each stakeholder see exactly what they need - nothing more, nothing less
Real-time dashboards track screening rates and outcomes - one-click export generates CDC and HRSA compliance reports instantly
Self-service, drag-and-drop analytics let staff filter and explore data with no SQL knowledge required
Government health agencies can no longer afford the fragmented, siloed systems that once defined public health data management. As federal reporting requirements expand, funding scrutiny intensifies, and the population of children requiring coordinated care grows, SMART® CDMIS positions agencies to move from reactive record-keeping to proactive, evidence-based program management. With AI-powered automation, standards-based integration, and compliance built into the architecture, public health teams can spend less time reconciling spreadsheets and more time on the work that changes outcomes for children and families. Whether your agency is replacing an aging system like ChildLINK or building a new multi-agency data platform from the ground up, now is the time to deploy a solution proven across multiple states - ready to go live in 90 days, not years.
