Healthy Tomorrows Cohort 3 - Quarterly Learning Collaborative Meeting

Supporting family access to well-child health care and family supports through primary care and family visiting partnership.

Practices and Family Visiting programs participating in the third cohort of Healthy Tomorrows met in August to share their progress in building relationships and improving communication and care coordination, lessons learned and success stories. Sara Remington from RIDOH shared key measures on each of the family visiting programs that are participating in the program. Great results overall! Here is a look at some of their results:

  • 89-96% of enrolled children have had their most recent well-child visit.
  • 52-84% of infants under 1 yrs. old are sleeping safely--alone, on their backs, and without soft bedding nor blankets.
  • ~ 82% of enrolled children have had a 9-month, 18-month, or 24-month developmental screening.
  • Over 85% of babies receive breastmilk at 6 months of age.
  • Over 85% of enrolled children have had their most recent well-child visit.
  • 100% of primary caregivers have been screened for maternal depression within three months of enrolling in Family Visiting.
  • 100% of primary caregivers have been screened for substance use during the enrollment period.
