Abstract:

United States guidelines recommend preconception care (PCC) as an integral part of primary care to improve maternal and fetal/newborn outcomes and promote planned pregnancies. Persons living with HIV have additional, specialized needs for PCC. However, PCC is not reliably integrated in HIV care, and few studies have examined strategies to improve the provision of PCC services. We describe a successful, nurse-led initiative that incorporated collaborative strategic planning in conjunction with staff education and continuous quality improvement to strengthen implementation of PCC in a small urban HIV care clinic. Key features of this project included consensus building, training, and action planning with clinic staff; addressing clinic-specific barriers; and providing ongoing support/technical assistance. Continuous quality improvement reviews at 12, 18, and 36 months demonstrated improved and sustained implementation of PCC services for women and men. Our experiences serve as a model for HIV primary care clinics working to advance implementation of PCC services.
