Adagio Health Inc., serving the 23 counties of western Pennsylvania, will provide comprehensive, quality family planning and related preventive health services to 123,964 at-risk and in-need clients by the end of the 36-month project. Clinical and preventive education services are provided through a network of 65 clinical service sites and two mobile units geographically dispersed throughout the region to ensure client access. Family planning providers represent Federally Qualified Health Centers, hospital-based outpatient clinics, Rural Health Clinics, university-based clinics, midwife and birthing centers, nationally recognized hospitals, and free-standing family planning clinics. Adagio Health?s primary focus is the provision of quality, comprehensive, and coordinated client care, with a priority on ensuring patients have access to routine preventive primary care. Adagio Health has conceptualized a framework built on seven key factors to assure successful attainment of growth, quality objectives, and sustainability of the family planning network. The key factors ? access, awareness, quality, health outcomes, family engagement, community partnerships, and network infrastructure ? form the foundation for all goals, objectives and activities in the 36-month work plan. Our project emphasizes accountability, utilization of evidence-based best practices, and monitoring of performance and outcomes. The Adagio Health 36-month Work Plan addresses all Title X priorities including increased delivery of voluntary, non-coercive, quality family planning and related preventive health services throughout the region as well as increasing services to identified priority populations, particularly the low income clients most in need of services. Our network and our work plan provides for Fertility Awareness Based Methods (FABM), assessing reproductive life plans of clients, delivering client-centered preconception and interconception health care to ensure optimal maternal and child health outcomes, and a full range of on-site contraceptive services to reduce barriers to care. Our work plan includes enhancing current, and developing new, community partnerships to coordinate comprehensive care services that address the holistic needs of our clients, providing services and activities to encourage communication and promote family involvement, and assuring sustainability of Adagio Health?s Title X network through infrastructure enhancements and support.Project objectives include growing key patient populations, including low-income persons, minority females, and males. Adagio Health will engage the communities it serves to improve knowledge and awareness of Title X-funded family planning services, and will work with project and community partners to remove barriers to access and care. Special initiatives have been identified to improve parent-child connectedness and communication, resulting in decreased risky behaviors among adolescents.Adagio Health has identified a number of measures for evaluating success in delivering quality services and assessing performance within the family planning project. Performance measures in the proposed Adagio Health project include: (1) improving Chlamydia screening among females under the age of 25 years; (2) increasing the provision of the most effective methods of contraception (Tier 1 and Tier 2 methods) for patients having longer term plans for parenthood; and (3) assessing gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV test-per-user ratios. Additionally, Adagio Health will address the importance of discussing and documenting reproductive life plans (RLP), assessing the patient experience of care, and provision of services that provide excellent preconception and interconception health care.
