THE HOSPITAL ALSO COLLABORATES WITH SEVERAL LOCAL AND STATE ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS ISSUES RELATED TO INFANT MORTALITY. STARK COUNTY TOWARD HEALTH RESILIENCY FOR INFANT VITALITY & EQUITY (THRIVE) COLLABORATIVE BASED ON A NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR EQUITY IN BIRTH OUTCOMES MODEL, NINE OHIO COMMUNITIES MAKE UP THE OHIO INSTITUTE FOR EQUITY IN BIRTH OUTCOMES (OHIO EQUITY INSTITUTE), A COMMUNITY-DRIVEN EFFORT TO REDUCE INFANT DEATHS. IN 2013, THE NINE OHIO COMMUNITIES, OHIO EQUITY INSTITUTE, THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND CITYMATCH PARTNERED TO IMPROVE THE INFANT MORTALITY RATE (IMR) AND REDUCE RACIAL DISPARITIES. THE STARK COUNTY FETAL INFANT MORTALITY REVIEW COMMITTEE REVIEWS INFANT MORTALITY DATA, DETERMINES PREVENTABLE DEATHS, IDENTIFIES OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT IN CARE OR SERVICES AND MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE THRIVE COLLABORATIVE ON INTERVENTIONS NEEDED TO PREVENT FUTURE INFANT DEATHS. THE STARK COUNTY THRIVE EVALUATION TEAM & PATHWAYS HUB QUALITY IMPROVEMENT TEAM ANALYZES AND REPORTS THE STARK COUNTY PATHWAYS HUB DATA TO THRIVE COLLABORATIVE MEMBERS. ALTHOUGH THRIVE SERVES ALL STARK COUNTY, THE INITIATIVE PRIORITIZES WOMEN RESIDING IN SOUTHEAST AND NORTHEAST CANTON, CENTRAL MASSILLON AND EASTERN ALLIANCE BASED ON COUNTY IMR AND DISPARITY RATE DATA. THRIVE FOCUSES ON TWO INTERVENTIONS FOR THE GREATEST POSSIBLE IMPACT ON THE IMR AND DISPARITIES.1. CENTERINGPREGNANCY PRENATAL CARE AND COMMUNITY-BASED CARE COORDINATION WITH THE GOALS OF INCREASING AWARENESS OF THE VALUE OF EARLY PRENATAL CARE, LINKING WOMEN TO PRENATAL SERVICES, ADDRESSING BARRIERS TO PRENATAL CARE AND MEETING SOCIO-ECONOMIC NEEDS.

SAFE SLEEP EDUCATION, POLICIES AND RESOURCES CREATE AWARENESS AND ENCULTURATE SAFE SLEEP POLICIES AND PRACTICES. AULTMAN ADOPTED SAFE SLEEP POLICIES PER OHIO LAW AND MONITORS RELIABLE USE AND MODELING OF SAFE SLEEP PRACTICES. ON AVERAGE, MORE THAN THREE OHIO INFANTS DIE EACH WEEK DUE TO SLEEP-RELATED CAUSES, WHICH IS WHY AULTMAN FOLLOWS THE CURRENT SAFE SLEEP STANDARDS AND ACTIVELY EDUCATES ITS YOUNG PATIENT PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ON THEIR IMPORTANCE. THE STANDARDS INCLUDE THE "ABCS OF SLEEP," REMINDING PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS THAT INFANTS SHOULD SLEEP ALONE, ON THEIR BACKS AND IN A CRIB, AMONG OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS. AULTMAN PARTNERS WITH HOSPITALS AND ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE COUNTY TO EDUCATE ON SAFE SLEEP PRACTICES. DURING HOSPITAL STAYS, NURSES SHARE SAFE SLEEP INFORMATION WITH FAMILIES IN THE BIRTH CENTER.

IN 2020, THE WOW TEAM PROGRAM COMMUNITY OUTREACH EDUCATION WAS SUSPENDED DURING THE PANDEMIC.QUALITY IMPROVEMENT COLLABORATIVES TESTING OF EMERGING BEST PRACTICES AULTMAN PHYSICIANS PLAY A KEY ROLE IN IDENTIFYING AND EVALUATING EFFECTIVENESS OF EMERGING PRACTICES AS MEMBERS OF THE OHIO PERINATAL QUALITY COLLABORATIVE (OPQC), OHIO COLLABORATIVE TO PREVENT INFANT MORTALITY, COLLABORATIVE IMPROVEMENT & INNOVATION NETWORK AND BREASTFEEDING TASK FORCE. EACH COLLABORATIVE ALIGNS WITH THE THRIVE GOAL. FOR EXAMPLE, DR. MICHAEL KREW, MD, MS, MATERNAL-FETAL MEDICINE SPECIALIST AND CLINICAL PROFESSOR OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY AT NORTHEAST OHIO MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, SERVES AS AN OBSTETRIC CONSULTANT FOR THE OPQC PREMATURITY PREVENTION INITIATIVES INCLUDING REDUCTION IN ELECTIVE BIRTH <39 WEEKS, INITIATING PROGESTERONE FOR PRETERM BIRTH RISK AND USE OF HUMAN MILK IN INFANTS 22-29 WEEKS GESTATIONAL AGE.
PART V, LINE 11 (AULTMAN HOSPITAL) CONTINUED	IMPACT: FOR SIX YEARS, CANTON CITY PUBLIC HEALTH HAS LED AN EFFORT TO REDUCE INFANT MORTALITY AND DISPARITY RATES THROUGH A COUNTYWIDE STARK COUNTY THRIVE COLLABORATIVE. SINCE 2017, THE CHWS HAVE SUPPORTED 429 PREGNANT OR WOMEN WITH A CHILD UNDER AGE 1; 139 BIRTHS; AND INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN GETTING NEEDED MEDICAL AND SOCIAL SERVICES AND BASIC NEEDS. THE THRIVE COLLABORATIVE MEMBERS HAVE GAINED A MUCH DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF STARK COUNTY'S INFANT MORTALITY PROBLEM THROUGH THE USE OF DATA AND STUDY. THE THRIVE COLLABORATIVE LOOKS TO FIVE-YEAR TRENDS TO GAUGE PROGRESS SINCE STARK COUNTY HAS FEWER BIRTHS THAN LARGER COUNTIES IN OHIO. PRELIMINARY STARK COUNTY THRIVE RESULTS ARE PROMISING WITH A DROP IN THE STARK COUNTY IMR TO 5.5 DEATHS PER 1,000 LIVE BIRTHS IN 2018. THIS REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE FROM A RATE OF 9.3 IN 2017 AND 9 IN 2016 AND SHOWS PROGRESS IN ADDRESSING RACIAL DISPARITY IN BIRTH OUTCOMES. STATEWIDE DATA SHOWED THAT BLACK INFANTS IN OHIO IN 2017 WERE DYING AT NEARLY THREE TIMES THE RATE OF WHITE INFANTS. STARK COUNTY'S DISPARITY RATE RATIO, WHICH COMPARES THE INFANT MORTALITY RATE OF BLACK AND WHITE INFANTS, DROPPED TO 5.5 IN 2018, DOWN FROM 9.3 IN 2017. STARK COUNTY'S BLACK INFANT MORTALITY RATE WAS 7.4 DEATHS PER 1,000 LIVE BIRTHS IN 2018, DOWN FROM 17.5 IN 2017.

ACCORDING TO THE USDA, FOOD INSECURITY REPRESENTS A HOUSEHOLD-LEVEL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONDITION OF LIMITED OR UNCERTAIN ACCESS TO ADEQUATE FOOD FOR AN ACTIVE AND HEALTHY LIFE. HUNGER MAY RESULT FROM FOOD INSECURITY. FEEDING AMERICA ESTIMATES A STARK COUNTY FOOD INSECURITY RATE OF 17.5% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION, A 30% INCREASE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. THE STARK COUNTY CHILD FOOD INSECURITY RATE IS 27.6%, A 39% INCREASE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. FOOD INSECURITY CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF:- PHYSICAL HEALTH ISSUES INCLUDING HYPERTENSION, ASTHMA, TOOTH DECAY, ANEMIA, INFECTION AND BIRTH DEFECTS.- BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES INCLUDING DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY.- CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS INCLUDING OBESITY AND DIABETES.FROM 2019 TO 2021, THE AULTMAN FOOD INSECURITY COMMITTEE, COMPRISED OF HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY PARTNER MEMBERS, ADDRESSED HOSPITAL-BASED STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS STARK COUNTY FOOD INSECURITY AND MITIGATE THE IMPACT FOOD INSECURITY HAS ON HEALTH AND HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR PATIENT POPULATIONS SERVED. AULTMAN USED THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION'S ROLE OF HOSPITALS IN FOOD INSECURITY AS A FRAMEWORK. THE AULTMAN FOOD INSECURITY COMMITTEE AIMED TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH BY IMPLEMENTING UPSTREAM AFFORDABLE, PATIENT-CENTERED, EQUITABLE INTERVENTIONS. THE POPULATION HEALTH STRATEGY INTEGRATED EVIDENCE-BASED CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS THAT LEAD TO A SUSTAINABLE IMPACT ON REDUCING THE PREVALENCE OF FOOD INSECURITY AND RELATED HEALTH CONDITIONS. BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS INCLUDE IDENTIFYING THE TARGET POPULATION, REDUCING THE PREVALENCE OF FOOD INSECURITY AND ITS RELATED HEALTH CONDITIONS, ADVANCING CULTURALLY COMPETENT CARE AND PROMOTING A HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT. BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING NONCLINICAL INTERVENTIONS INCLUDE LEVERAGING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL FOOD ORGANIZATIONS AND OVERCOMING THE STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH FOOD INSECURITY. IN NOVEMBER 2021, THE COMMITTEE WAS DISSOLVED, AND AULTMAN HEALTH FOUNDATION WILL CONTRIBUTE TO ONGOING COMMUNITY NEEDS AS A MEMBER OF THE STARK COUNTY FOOD COUNCIL.IN 2019-2022, THE AULTMAN FOOD INSECURITY COMMITTEE PARTNERS IMPLEMENTED AND SUSTAINED THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO MEET LOCAL COMMUNITY FOOD NEEDS: SCREENING FOR FOOD INSECURITY, LITTLE FLOWER FAMILY PRACTICE PRODUCE PERKS MIDWEST PRODUCE PRESCRIPTION GRANT, CEDAR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, AKRON-CANTON REGIONAL FOODBANK CANTON CAMPUS AND STARKFRESH MOBILE GROCERY MARKET.
