Debra Darling: Michigan hopes to learn about successful population approaches to improving Maternal and Infant Health. We're interested in identifying strategies to impact upstream interventions and methods for engaging communities in coordinating statewide efforts.

Pat Heinrich: want to learn about any new or innovative specific evidence-based strategies for improving the care of pregnant women and babies in their own organization, health system, community, or population

Janine Reisinger: Understand ways to move a medical model to a population health model and learn others about their 'best practices'.

Jeff Rakover: To better understand how to introduce models of care that improve population level outcomes in pregnancy, especially for women at risk of poor outcomes and women with challenges to accessing care and community resources

Cherie Foster:learn how obstetricians and neonatologists in a large hospital system in Florida can collaborate together, rather than in separate silos, to improve outcomes for mothers and babies

Laurel Durham:Agree with all!

Christina Williams-Harding: Craddle Cincinnati Learning Collaborative is eager to learn best practices to reducing IMR. Sharing learning theories (Key Driver Diagrams).

Jocelyn Audelo: Improve our integration of population/public health thinking into MCH care delivery strategy

Susan Ford: Hoping to learn more about successful strategies for care of the pregnant patient with substance use disorder.

Cherie Foster: 10% in Hillsborough County, Florida (Greater Tampa Metro Area). Yes, I have looked up before

Debra Darling: Yes, we look local, regionally and statewide each year.

Janine Reisinger: Yes, PTB and mortality has been a large focus of our work over the past year. State-wide data.

Kara Johnson: Yes, lower PTB rate in Oregon.

Christina Williams-Harding: Our Hamilton County, OH IMR is 8.97

Christina Williams-Harding: This did not surprise as we monitor it closely.

Cherie Foster: Yes, no new concepts thus far

Rebecca Smith: Not new to me either!

Laurel Durham: No new concepts, but appreciate getting us all on same page to start

Christina Williams-Harding: No and Yes!

Janine Reisinger: No, not surprising and concepts are familiar.

Debra Darling: Yes, we are all on the same page.

Cherie Foster: There is also a significant amount of literature that providing prenatal care also does NOT prevent preterm birth

Cherie Foster: I meant prenatal care alone...

Lucy Pickard: Absolutely agree Cherie.

Jeff Rakover: Can you say more again about why you focused on prematurity in some of your early research into this topic?

Jeff Rakover: Also, have you found major differences in the application of Triple Aim type approaches in this population context, versus other contexts? (other patient populations)

Cherie Foster: There is a Feb or March 2017 Journal of Pediatrics review by Tonse Raju, et al the NICHD looking at long term outcomes for preterm infants as adults--provocative reading, as there multiple long term multisystem organ effects that will have long term implications for the robustness of the triple aim!

Cherie Foster: I am a Neonatologist

Cherie Foster: Happy to do!

Janine Reisinger: Will you be highlighting the linkage between medical interventions for prematurity prevention (17p, smoking cessation, etc.) with the population health approaches you have mentioned?

Janine Reisinger: Great - thank you!
