After all the voting through the fall and our December Leadership Team Meeting, PQCNC is proud to announce that our 2023 Initiative has been identified and will be clOUDi 3.0, with added focuses on maternal mental health in mothers with opioid use disorder (OUD) and a focus on safe sleep practices for infants at risk for neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS).
Expert Team 3.0 will gather virtually starting in later February into early March. The Team will be responsible for creating the Aim Statement, Action Plan and Key Driver Diagram, and identifying the key metrics to be used in assessing initiative progress. The Expert Team will meet via 10-12 virtual sessions over the next year. Meeting will be one hour, no longer. Reading and video resources will be supplied as evidence support for our ongoing developmental meetings.
So who is an Expert? Any of you can be if 1) you have an interest in the initiative 2) are willing to make use of resource materials and 3) can commit to attending the majority of the meetings. Moms and dads, those who have patient expereince, published subject matter experts on OUD and NOWS, health care providers of all types, hospital administrative leaders, public health leaders, and political leaders are all invited to be part of this process.
