How to Become Involved in NOMS Data Collection for Health Care

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 Pre-Kindergarten and/or the Adult 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 health care system

  • Eligibility criterion: At least 75% of staff 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 us for more information at 301-296-8736 or by email at tfrymark@asha.org.
