IPHCA is launching a new quality improvement initiative in partnership with Upstream USA to advance maternal and infant health.

The initiative will support health centers with standardizing family planning screening and increasing access to the full range of contraceptive care services within primary care settings.  This initiative will empower primary care providers to help patients make informed decisions about their health and family planning goals. By prioritizing care before conception, we aim to improve health outcomes and promote overall well-being for individuals and families across Indiana.

Upstream has worked with 200+ health care organizations across the country to make contraceptive care patient-centered and accessible. 

Participating health centers will receive the following supports:

• No-cost technical assistance, workflow support, and tailored staff training

• Help to meet new UDS reporting requirements by standardizing screening for family planning needs across all of primary care

• Free integrated data tools, such as an Azara Family Planning module, to streamline implementation and track progress

• A dedicated project team to help your clinic offer the full range of contraceptive services

• Unrestricted funding when key project milestones are completed
