District II Wins 2018 CDC Service Recognition Award
Over the past two years, ACOG District II OUD in Pregnancy Task Force has been working to educate ob-gyns on the comprehensive management of pregnant patients suffering from opioid use disorder through development of a clinical bundle, establishment of a quality improvement collaborative and joining AIM. The goal is to increase providers' implementation of best practices regarding management of addicted pregnant and postpartum women to improve maternal and infant outcomes. This project is generously funded by the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth).
