Our Objectives
HV CoIIN, led by Education Development Center (EDC), builds upon 10 years of a vibrant culture of continuous quality improvement (CQI) among home visiting teams to accomplish four key objectives:
- Implement the scaling of tested interventions with at least 30 Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program awardees and 300 local implementing agencies (LIAs)
- Select new maternal and child health outcomes aligned with MIECHV performance measures and priorities; where gaps exist, test new key driver diagrams, and change packages with a volunteer group of awardees and LIAs to improve outcomes
- Continue to refine health equity and family leadership principles and integrate them across all project activities and topics tested to transform systems and produce equitable outcomes for all families
- Build capacity among MIECHV awardees and LIAs for using CQI methods to improve outcomes
