  1. Development and Use of Performance Measures for Monitoring Women’s Health and Preconception Care: Region IV Network and State Collaboratives Co-Principal Investigators Julie DeClerque, DrPH, MPHEllen Shanahan, MA Region IV Network for Data Management and Utilization UNC Sheps Center for Health Services Research Program on Child Health Services

  2. Initial Focus on Infant MortalityUS DHHS Health Care Region IV Had Highest Rates RNDMU Began 1983: Track Indicators to Monitor Trends • Initial SPRANS grant 1983 focused on tracking infant mortality • Focus shifted in 1990, funding through Title X • Added FP indicators, with another wave in 1997 (11 women’s health) • FP considered first step in preventing high-risk pregnancies • FP service indicators given high priority as basic IM reduction strategy • Workshops 2009-2010: focus on women’s health and preconception care

  3. RNDMU Data Network Features • State collaborative across 8 states of Region IV • Title X grantees in each state (10 in all) • Longitudinal State and Regional data • Over 125 perinatal indicators • Data sources: • State vital records, including abortion • Medicaid deliveries • Family planning administrative reports (FPAR) • BRFSS / PRAMS • Communicable Disease / Immunization Surveillance • Guttmacher “in-need” estimates • Annual Databookproduced by Sheps Center • All tables available on Website in Excel format • http://www.shepscenter.unc.edu/data/RNDMU/LongitudinalExcelTables/DataTablesExcel.html

  4. Revised Concept Map and Databook Organization • Five Domains (Total Indicators: 121) • Personal Health and Lifestyle (28) • Family Planning (37) • Fertility (13) • Pregnancy (18) • Pregnancy Outcomes (25)

  5. Highlights from RNDMU Domains I and II • Trends over time • Indicators of unmet need • Example issues, reports, collaboratives

  6. Post-partum and Family Planning Visits Opportunities for Addressing Chronic Conditions • Healthy Weight • Diabetes • Hypertension • Asthma Opportunities for PromotingEffective Birth Spacing • Understanding BC methods • Side effects • Availability of EC • Risks and consequences of infection
