Public Health Grand Rounds Webcast Event
Reproductive Life Planning: A New Toolkit for Providers
Presented by the Rhode Island Department of Health
Thursday, June 4, 2015, 8:30 - 9:30 am
RI Department of Health Auditorium | 3 Capitol Hill, Providence, RI
Program Description
Dr. Hosmer will provide a demonstration of the The National
Preconcpetion / Interconception Care Clinical Toolkit and
an overview of the toolkit materials for patient and provider
education. The preconception health status of women strongly
influences pregnancy course and outcomes. The National
Preconception / Interconception Care Clinical Toolkit was
designed to help primary care providers, their colleagues
and their practices incorporate preconception health into the
routine care of women of childbearing age. The goal of the
toolkit is to help clinicians reach every woman who might
someday become pregnant every time she presents for routine
primary care with efficient, evidence-based strategies and
resources to help her achieve:
• healthier short and long term personal health outcomes,
• increased likelihood that any pregnancies in her future are
by choice rather than chance,
• decreased likelihood of complications if she does become
pregnant in the future.
All primary care providers who care for women of
childbearing age would benefit from a demonstration of the
toolkit and an overview of the toolkit materials for patient and
provider education.
Target Audience
Primary healthcare providers (physicians, nurse practitioners,
physician assistants), professionals specializing in family
medicine, pediatrics, and adult medicine.
