MOMs+ is a maternal overdose prevention program focused on helping birthing hospitals statewide provide equitable access to treatment and recovery for perinatal patients with substance use disorders, including connection to the patient and family, initiation of medication for opioid use disorder and treatment of other substance use disorders, and transition to outpatient recovery with community providers. The MOMs+ team of clinicians provides support through a hospital needs assessment, gap analysis, order set review, staff education, implementation plan, quality improvement help, community outreach and referral, and other technical assistance.
MOMs+ is a part of CPCQC’s IMPACT BH program and an extension of the work of the Colorado MOMs Initiative. Working collaboratively with key partners, MOMs+ is creating a common framework, implementation recommendations and education plan for birthing hospitals across Colorado to improve the birth experience for patients with substance use disorders. Hospitals engaged in MOMs+ have access to tailored technical assistance, education, experts across all partner programs, and continual process improvement to improve care for pregnant and postpartum people affected by substance use.
