The NBSO ordering platform is an online system that allows hospitals and providers to purchase blood spot screening cards and to order free printed resources for education. This site includes resources for newborn screening education including blood spot screening, hearing screening, pulse oximetry screening for critical congenital heart disease and the Michigan BioTrust for Health. Additional resources, including newborn screening guides, forms, newslettes and reports are available on the Resources for Hospitals and Health Professionals page.
Note for deliveries outside of the hospital setting: Homebirth kits are not available on the NBSO platform. Midwives should maintain a supply of homebirth kits and can order them from the Newborn Screening Program. More information on ordering is available on the Midwives and Community Birthing Partners page. If you are a parent delivering outside of a hospital, your midwife will have instructions on the payment process for your child's newborn screen.
