If you give a mom a multivitamin…you can improve the health of families!

MOC Part IV Program Enrolling Practices Now for QI Project Launch in January –If you give a mom a multivitamin…you can improve the health of families!

The Healthy Mom, Healthy Family Learning Collaborative is helping providers in Ohio learn how to impact the health of entire families by addressing the needs of mothers at early childhood visits. Small steps – such as providing multivitamins or supporting maternal health – can make a big difference for the families you care for! As part of a QI project approved to provide MOC credit, participants in the 12 month collaborative receive the training and support needed to improve four areas of behavior with families:

  • Smoking Cessation
  • Mental Health
  • Multivitamin Use
  • Family Planning

Wave 1 practices are experiencing the impacts of this project now – and new practices can register today to participate in Wave 2 from January – December 2022! Participants in Wave 2 of Healthy Mom, Healthy Family can receive incentives beginning with their registration and through the completion of the project, including:

  • More than $1,500 worth of family items personalized for each practice – such as multivitamins, board books and parenting education book
    • The first 50+ books will be provided upon completion of registration!
  • Up to 50 Points of MOC Part IV Credit for qualifying participants
  • A wireless scanner for easy data submission – no chart reviews
  • Education and materials to improve discussion of maternal health in your practice
  • Support from a dedicated Practice Coach and Quality Improvement team

Over the fall registered participants will receive education, on-boarding support, and resources to be prepared for the project launch in January 2022. Requirements to participate include accepting Ohio Medicaid and seeing at least 20 patients for well-child visits birth – 18 months per month.
