PITTSBURGH-The UPMC Center for High-Value Health Care secured a $3.76M award from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to reduce barriers to critical behavioral health services for women both during and after pregnancy.
“Postpartum behavioral health screenings and services are only useful if they are accessible and delivered in ways that women will fully utilize them,” said Diane Holder, President and CEO, UPMC Health Plan. “We will use these PCORI funds to enhance our research on how to best structure both in-person services and digital tools to ensure they are relevant and user-friendly to mothers covered by Medicaid so they can receive the behavioral health care they need.”
