WHB Expansion- Pilot Establish a pilot in one area hospital in
an effort to move toward universal outreach, screening and referral at birth Universal touch Risk screening Appropriate referrals
Planned measures of success
WHB Prenatal Database Reduce duplicative home visits for
clients engaged prenatally in home visiting programs Partner agencies submit active prenatal client
lists (gathering first set of data currently) WHB notifies agency of birth of their active
client so that worker can schedule newborn home visit
Cost savings for WHB (offsets cost of pilot expansion to provide access to more families)
Role of Heart of West Michigan United Way 2-1-1 in the HV Hub
Will act as a primary portal into the HV Hub, responding to families’ needs with a wide array of resources, services, and information related to pregnancy and early childhood
Updating 2-1-1 database with home visiting program information
Will determine triage questions to make referrals or forward calls to WHB
Outreach campaign with one number to call
Future Developments Further develop connections to
healthcare hub and 2-1-1
Outreach to vulnerable populations, i.e. women not seeking prenatal care or unaware of pregnancy
Establish referral process to the Hub through emergency departments
