This opportunity from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is for family medicine and pediatric clinics that want to improve birth outcomes while promoting the health of women, children, and families.
Your clinic can do this through the IMPLICIT (Interventions to Minimize Preterm and Low Birth-Weight Infants Using Continuous Quality-Improvement Techniques) grant program. Apply and become part of a statewide effort, which is part of a national endeavor of the Family Medicine Education Consortium, Inc.
The chosen clinic will receive:
Free technical assistance to implement the IMPLICIT interconception care toolkit;
Free IMPLICIT trainings;
Free support in providing continuous quality improvement (QI) to improve women’s health and prevent birth defects;
Connections to other clinics in your cohort; and
A $12,500 award over the course of the project.
The IMPLICIT Interconception Care Model is a cutting-edge model that embeds care for moms who might become pregnant again into well-child visits. It’s a preventative care model that incorporates assessments and referrals. Become one of the chosen clinics throughout the state of Minnesota in providing these essential services.
