Overview

Mission

To further collaborative efforts of member hospitals to improve the quality, value and accessibility of health care in the central Ohio region.

What it reported doing in 2024

Supported sudden infant mortality reduction initiatives in coordination with celebrateone by implementing strategies around low-birth weight babies, educating parents on safe sleep practices, breastfeeding, and tobacco, and drug cessation. Assisted hospitals with educating parents on the city's tobacco cessation initiative, whereby post-partum women are screened for tobacco use and referred to tobacco free families. Referred pregnant women to the columbus department of public health for tobacco cessation counseling. Distribute monthly referral data to birthing units and hold quarterly improvement check-in calls. Assisted hospitals in ensuring that pregnant women at risk of delivering a very low birth weight infants deliver at facilities with higher volumes. Assisted hospitals with implementing an initiative to universally test women who deliver a baby for use of opiates and other drugs. Coordinate with adamh and franklin county children's services to develop consistent patient education materials for parents and a streamlined system to refer women to treatment and to fccs. Tracked the percentage of parents viewing an educational video on safe sleep, breastfeeding, and in-home tobacco use prior to discharge. Assessed if pregnant women have legal issues, such as evictions, safe housing, and access to benefits that can affect healthy outcomes, and referred them to columbus legal aid society. Develop a campaign that educates front-line staff to complete five tasks for every discharge from maternity unit/nicu: 1. Screen for a crib in the home, 2. Show education safe sleep video, 3. Provide take home door hanger, 4. Provide sleep sack and corresponding education, and 5. Send post discharge message via mychart.

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
