Promising Practices: Initial Application
Pediatric Medical Home and Wrap Around Care for Infants and Families
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is gathering a digital library of different ways that clinics and practices around the country are serving women in recovery and infants with a history of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) or neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). The field of maternal-infant care through the child's first three years of life is new, and interventions have not been structurally integrated into many practices. However, pediatricians, nurses and the other members of the clinical care team have embraced both medical home and patient-family-centered care principles to support families affected by parental substance use.
Please consider completing this form if you, and your clinic/practice would like to share the work you are doing to support mothers and infants. Members of the AAP Maternal-Infant Health and Opioid Use core planning team will review the submissions. Selection of clinics/practices for inclusion in the digital library will be based on their adoption of medical home principles, commitment to public health approaches related to opioid use and pregnancy, and integration of family support methodologies.
Submissions selected by the core planning team will be invited to participate in a 1-hour interview. The information shared during the interview will be used to develop a written summary of the clinic/practice, and will be posted on AAP.org/NOWS webpage. The clinic/practice name, city and state will be featured. The Academy will provide the clinic/practice with a Model Practice Excellence Award and a letter of recognition that can be shared as the clinic/practice sees fit with a health system administration, payors, AAP chapters or districts, or even local media.
