PA PQC QI Collaborative Virtual Session September 14, 2021
The Learning Session will bring to the assembled physicians, nurses, social workers, hospital leadership and other clinical staff the knowledge that there are Centers of Excellence in their communities and they can be referred to as a resource for pregnant people identified via Substance Use Disorder screenings. All of the PA PQC hospital teams can benefit from more knowledge around how to integrate health equity into their hospital operations especially as they are more aware of inequality when they review race/ethnicity data for their sites. The benefits of early intervention and how community organizations can improve the social determinants of health for families will provide guidance and resources to the hospital teams.
