The Perinatal Substance Use ECHO program from Hennepin Healthcare provides virtual education and training to providers to best support pregnant and parenting people with substance use during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This includes educational sessions, case reviews, and discussions of best practice templates and protocols specifically focused on inpatient and outpatient perinatal substance use and substance use disorders. The goal of this ECHO Series is to develop standardized treatment approaches for perinatal substance use care that will allow for statewide standardization of best practices for all birthing patients affected by substance use and substance use disorders.
