Significance: Through the Maternal & Infant Community Heath Collaboratives (MICHC) program, community health workers (CHWs) conduct basic health and well-being assessments in the prenatal and postpartum periods, using standardized evidence-based and/or validated screening tools, to identify and prioritize needs of the individuals and families served. Assessments are completed at enrollment and updated throughout clients’ service periods and individualized care plans are developed based on the needs identified. CHWs receive annual training on how to talk with families about difficult topics like mental health and depression, using a trauma informed care approach, and including how to manage emergency situations. CHWs also connect clients and families to needed services and provide enhanced social support. CHWs help ensure early and consistent participation in preventive and primary health care services, including early prenatal care, particularly for those individuals not engaged in care and other supportive services. CHWs provide health information to increase clients’ knowledge and ability to self-advocate and make informed health care decisions, with the goal of helping families achieve optimal health, self-sufficiency, and overall well-being.

Denominator: Number of women with their first ever valid Pap test or HPV test, funded through the Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP)

Significance: A well-woman or preconception visit provides a critical opportunity to receive recommended clinical preventive services, including screening, counseling, and immunizations, which can lead to appropriate identification, treatment, and prevention of diseases to optimize the health of women before, between, and beyond potential pregnancies. A key component of a well-woman visit for a reproductive-aged woman is the development and discussion of her reproductive life plan to align with her current and future plans. Prevention, screening, and management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, and counseling to achieve a healthy weight and smoking cessation, can be advanced with a well-woman visit to promote women’s health prior to and between pregnancies and improve subsequent maternal and perinatal outcomes. The annual well-woman visit is recommended by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG).

Numerator: # of women with a preventative reproductive health exam who received a PAP test and/or are current with receiving their recommended PAP screening schedule

Denominator: Total number of women that received a preventative reproductive health exam

Significance: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Committee (ACOG) Opinion (2014) states that the annual health assessment should include screening, evaluation and counseling, and immunizations based on age and risk factors and should include a physical examination. The physical examination will include obtaining standard vital signs, determining body mass index, palpating the abdomen and inguinal lymph nodes, and making an assessment of the patient’s overall health. The ACOG guidelines for cervical cytology screening published in May 2009 recommend beginning cervical cancer screening at age 21 years, irrespective of sexual activity of the patient. This is based on the current understanding of human papillomavirus infection in the adolescent patient and the pathophysiology of invasive cervical cancer. The CDC reports that cervical cancer is the easiest gynecologic cancer to prevent, with regular PAP and HPV screening tests and follow- up. The Pap test looks for precancerous cell changes on the cervix that might become cervical cancer if they are not discovered early and treated appropriately. The HPV test looks for the human papilloma virus that can cause these cell changes. Health disparities exist in CT, as they do nationally. At risk populations have higher rates of teen births, STDs, HIV, and chronic disease and often lack access to care. Evidence-based reproductive health services were provided in accordance with national standards, regardless of the patient’s inability to pay. The 12 CT RHS centers are geographically located in the state’s largest cities and areas of high teen birth rates. The services are inclusive, gender neutral and patient friendly.

Goal: To support reproductive life planning and healthy birth outcomes by increasing intervals of birth spacing (births spaced from 18 month to next conception).

Numerator: Number of Births with interval < 18 months between birth and next conception

Denominator: Total number of Births

Significance: Research shows that effective contraception can help with birth spacing, reduce the risk of low-weight and premature births, and support a woman’s longer term physical and emotional well-being. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) as among the most effective family planning methods with a pregnancy rate of less than 1 pregnancy per 100 women in the first year. LARC’s intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive implants are highly effective methods of birth control and can last between 3 and 10 years (depending on the method). Incorporating pregnancy intention screenings in routine and proactive settings where reproductive health age women are likely to be screened every 3 months to a year, regardless of the reason for a women’s visit supports the use of One Key Question®(OKQ) and multiple opportunities for these interventions with discussions that can lead to opportunities for preconception care and contraceptive services.

Significance: Mothers can experience substantial health and safety issues throughout the duration of their pregnancy and after childbirth, including severe maternal morbidity and pregnancy-related death. The top underlying causes of pregnancy-related death in Ohio include cardiovascular and coronary conditions, infections, hemorrhage, preeclampsia and eclampsia, and cardiomyopathy. To address these issues, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) has initiated the Ohio Maternal Safety Quality Improvement Project (QIP). The QIP aims to implement a data-driven model created by The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) to establish interventions in maternity care hospitals in Ohio, with the goal of reducing preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity and a focus on women who are Medicaid eligible or enrolled, uninsured, black, and/or have a mental health diagnosis.

Unit Type: 1. PRAMS, Unit Number: Data from the 2014 DC BRFSS revealed that overall 8079.3% of womenfemales over 18 years had a routine pap testcheckup within the past three years and 85.1% age 21-65 had a pap test in the past three years. 18 Among 18-34 year olds that rate decreases to 69.9%. Data for 2012 also indicated that more than three-quarters of women (81.2%) aged 18 and older reported that they received a pap test within the previous three years. Such findings indicate that District women are engaging in some preventive care services, however rates of women accessing prenatal care are lower. Between 2009 and 2012 the percent of infants born to mothers receiving prenatal care beginning in the first trimester decreased from 74.7% to 65.3%; and the percent of women who initiated prenatal care in the third trimester or had no entry to prenatal care increased from 5.8% to 8.2 %. Infant mortality rates (IMR) in the District have been on a stable downward trend from 2007 through 2013, when the DC IMR reached a historic low of 6.8 infant deaths per 1,000 live births. Although the overall infant mortality rate declined by 31.3% between the years of 2009-2013, significant disparities between racial and ethnic groups persist. African-American infants are five times more likely to expire before their first birthday as compared to white infants. The District’s IMR also remains higher than the national rate. Finally, in comparison, between 2009 and 2012, the neonatal mortality rate (number of neonates dying before reaching 28 days of age per 1,000 live births) increased from 6.3 per 1,000 live births in 2009 to 6.5 per 1,000 in 2012. In contrast, the post neonatal mortality rate (number of infant deaths occurring from 28 days to under 1 year of age, per 1,000 live births), decreased 61.1% with 3.6 per 1,000 live births in 2009 and 1.4 per 1,000 in 2012. It is important to note that due to the low number of infant deaths (less than 100) in the District, year-to-year changes should be interpreted with
