AMCHP Unveils Implementation Toolkits to Help Title V Agencies Meet National Performance Measures
AMCHP has released new implementation toolkits to help state agencies meet the National Performance Measures (NPMs) under their federal Title V block grants.

The toolkits provide evidence-based/-informed practices, reports, publications, and other resources that are geared toward each NPM and can be implemented at the state, territory and community levels. The first three toolkits feature NPMs: 1, Well Woman Visit; 6, Developmental Screening; and 9, Bullying.  The toolkits are structured as a series of linked infographics, so the user can navigate with the same ease-of-use as when navigating a database with specific search criteria. The toolkits include implementation-focused resources from AMCHP, including AMCHP’s Innovation Station, with contributions from state agencies and other partners in MCH.

By sharing these resources, we hope to encourage other Title V programs to share their Title V strategies and resources to improve maternal and child health practice across the country.

Survey Seeks Info on Telework at Title V/MCH Programs  
AMCHP’s Workforce and Leadership Development Committee (WLDC) develops strategies that will benefit how state Title V staff carry out their daily duties. One area of interest is telework and its effectiveness. The WLDC seeks your help in gathering information about telework policies (and the absence of policies) in state Title V/MCH programs. The information will be used for a fact sheet on telework policies, potential benefits and barriers to implementation, and state examples. Your input is needed! Tell us about the status of telework policies in your state by completing this brief survey  by Sept. 28.
