Project Summary

The purpose of the I-PPOSS project is to initiate a systematic response to the crisis of perinatal SUD in Idaho by addressing partnership, rural clinical care capacity, housing stability, availability of referral and consultation pathways, and data collection/monitoring. The I-PPOSS Program will target the following goals: 1. Develop a nursing and peer support consultation service for rural and frontier primary care teams and patients at sites across the state. 2. Create a rural primary care/critical access learning collaborative focused on perinatal OUD. 3. Coordinate with Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to conduct a feasibility study on collection of NAS data. 4. Pilot care coordination huddle for perinatal OUD cases between clinical providers, social services, and local law enforcement agencies. 5. Pilot a housing voucher program for women who screen positive for SUD and housing insecurity 6. Evaluate program impact in areas of implementation to promote sustainability and scaling. As a result of the aforementioned goals, I-PPOSS Project Team and partners anticipate the following outcomes: solidified state-wide strategy to collect and share NAS data; support and non-stigmatizing education for pregnant and parenting patients struggling with OUD; promote increased MOUD treatment and adherence among target population; increased confidence and implementation of standards of care for pregnant patients with MOUD; reduced adverse birth outcomes among women served; increased housing stability among the target population; reduced ACEs among children of women with OUD.
