SUMMARY:Community of Learning: Perinatal Mental Health Conditions in the Outpatient Setting Session 6
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 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.
