SUMMARY:Community of Learning: Perinatal Mental Health Conditions in the Outpatient Setting Session 1
DESCRIPTION:This six-part Community of Learning (CoL) series\, offered by the AIM TA Center and the Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health\, will support the effective implementation of the AIM Perinatal Mental Health Conditions (PMHC) Patient Safety Bundle with a focus on obstetric and other maternal health providers in the outpatient setting. The bundle helps healthcare leaders create systems for recognizing and responding to mental health conditions in pregnancy and during the postpartum period. The CoL will center those with lived experience and underscore the importance of implementation of clinical practice guidelines. Over the course of six 90-minute sessions\, participants will receive knowledge and tools to develop their own quality improvement (QI) activities to improve mental health outcomes\, including an understanding of HEDIS outpatient perinatal depression performance measures\, the unbundling of maternity care\, and potential partnership with insurers and Medicaid managed care. Each 60 minute CoL session will be followed by a optional 30 minute office hour with the PCMMH and AIM TA Center staff. \nSession 1: The Maternal Mental Health Crisis and Why Pregnancy is the Intervention Window\nDate: August 11\, 2026\, at 1 PM CT\nThis session will provide an overview of the onset and range of maternal mental health conditions and explore the link between untreated maternal mental health disorders and long-term maternal and infant health outcomes. The session will identify barriers in the national landscape of maternal mental health and address policy and practice opportunities. \nSession 2: Implementing the AIM PMHC Bundle in Outpatient Obstetric Clinics\nDate: September 8\, 2026\, at 1 PM CT\nThis session will focus on the practical implementation of the AIM Perinatal Mental Health Conditions Patient Safety Bundle within outpatient obstetric clinics\, including validated screening tools\, referral network development\, telepsychiatry consultation\, and safety planning. Participants will examine common barriers faced by obstetric clinics and review scalable approaches to integrating behavioral health services across diverse care settings. \nSession 3: Centering Families and Communities: The Mother-Infant Dyad\nDate: October 13\, 2026\, at 1 PM CT\nThis session will explore community-based settings and services such as the comprehensive Maternity Care Center (cMCC) framework being adopted by Federally Qualified Health Care Centers and the role of the non-clinical workforce\, including certified peer support specialists\, community health workers\, and doulas. Participants will also hear about the benefits of addressing maternal and infant well-being together through dyadic care support groups that build confidence and skills and support mother-baby resilience. \nSession 4: Payment Reform and Partnering with Health Plans\nDate: November 10\, 2026\, at 1 PM CT\nThis session examines emerging opportunities created by the transition away from bundled maternity payments and the implementation of new CPT maternity care codes beginning in 2027. Participants will explore how payment reform can strengthen maternal mental health screening\, treatment\, and follow-up\, as well as opportunities for collaboration with Medicaid managed care organizations and commercial health plans. \nSession 5: Quality Measurement\, HEDIS\, and Medicaid Accountability\nDate: December 8\, 2026\, at 1 PM CT\nMeasurement drives improvement. Participants will review current HEDIS prenatal and postpartum depression screening measures\, state performance variation\, and opportunities to strengthen data collection and reporting. Participants will gain practical insight into leveraging screening\, claims\, and quality dashboard data to support continuous quality improvement initiatives. \nSession 6: State Policy\, Rural Access\, and Scaling Change\nDate: January 12\, 2027\, at 1 PM CT\nThe final session will focus on translating improvement efforts into sustainable systems change. The session will highlight policy strategies that have successfully expanded maternal mental health services\, including in rural and underserved communities. The session concludes with a capstone planning activity in which participants will use state report cards\, county-level risk maps\, claims and HEDIS data\, and AIM assessments to identify actionable clinical and policy strategies for implementation in their own states and organizations.
