Collaborative Care Model for Perinatal Depression Support Services
Funder: Friends of Prentice
Funded by the Friends of Prentice, COMPASS is a programmatic initiative designed to improve the care of women with perinatal depression. Through obstetric clinician education in perinatal depression screening and treatment, on-site mental health assessment for patients, psychiatric consultation and collaboration, and enhanced access to resource provision, COMPASS facilitates delivery of superior health care at a critical time in women’s lives. Aligning with the Friends of Prentice mission of developing superior health care and funding initiatives to improve quality of health for women, COMPASS’s novel approach to perinatal mental health care delivery builds upon a growing body of work demonstrating improved maternal and infant outcomes associated with collaborative care models of perinatal mental health care.

Funder: NIMH (P50MH119029, 5111)
This project will design a technology-enabled service (TES) aimed at supporting collaborative care services for postpartum depression. The TES will contain a care manager dashboard to organize workflow, facilitate communication, and promote patient engagement and patient tools to support psychological assessments and dissemination of feedback. The TES will be evaluated using optimization-efficacy-implementation hybrid trial methodology, yielding results that will directly influence implementation practices for perinatal collaborative care nationwide.
