In order to participate in NOMS data collection, you must first gain the support of your staff and administration. Organizations may choose to participate in the Adult and/or Pre-Kindergarten Health Care Component(s) in one of two ways:
1. As an individual facility
- Eligibility criterion: ALL speech-language pathologists must be members of ASHA.
2. As part of a large national health care system
- Eligibility criterion: ALL speech-language pathologists must be ASHA certified; however, only 75% of SLPs must be members of ASHA.
All speech-language pathologists who will be collecting NOMS data for a facility or organization must become Registered NOMS users by completing a self-study training program and individually taking the User Registration Test. Once you are ready to participate, you must:
- Identify a "subscriber" for your program. The subscriber is typically a program director or manager who agrees to serve as a liaison between your organization and ASHA. The subscriber must be a member of ASHA.
- Complete a Subscriber Registration Form and two Letters of Agreement.
- Receive the training materials and become Registered NOMS Users. Clinicians may earn 0.2 ASHA continuing education units (CEUs) for successful completion of the training to become a Registered NOMS User.
To become involved in this important effort, complete the registration forms and submit them to ASHA or contact Jaumeiko Brown for more information at 301-296-8750 or JBrown2@asha.org.
