ACT & Info Sheets for
Health Care Professionals

The Kansas Newborn Screening Program has modified the following items which are included in the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) Intermediate Management Guide:

• Algorithms that present an overview of the basic steps involved in determining the final diagnosis of the infant.
• ACTion (ACT) sheets that describe the short-term actions a health professional should follow in communicating with the family and determining the appropriate steps in the follow-up of the infant that has screened positive.
• Information sheets that show information on the condition, such as clinical symptoms, incidence, treatment, screening methodology, and communicating the results to the parents.
