IMPLICIT Network Meeting (7:30am - 12pm)Faculty: Registration Fees: Course Overview: The IMPLICIT Interconception Care project is an evidenced-based approach used to screen mothers during well-child visits (WCVs) from 0-24 months and address maternal risks such as tobacco use, maternal depression, family planning, and multivitamin with folic acid intake. Data collected in the past 10 years indicates that moms are present at ~95% of the WCVs. This makes WCVs an opportune time to assess and address maternal needs and risks with the aim to improve maternal health and reduce premature and low birth weight infants. The IMPLICIT Network has also initiated a “4th Trimester Care” project to improve maternal risks in the time period following childbirth. This network meeting will provide education and quality improvement instruction for IMPLICIT Network sites. Intended for IMPLICIT Network sites only. Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:
