APPENDIX B:

Theory of Change


The key activities in this guide align with the PHMI theory of change for how practices can increase prenatal and postpartum visit rates through three main drivers:

  1. Effective implementation of prenatal and postpartum protocols.
  2. Patients eligible and due for care have the information, education and access needed for screening.
  3. Practices have needed resources and support.
