Effective Contraceptive Use Technical Assistance

In 2017-2018, the Transformation Center provided technical assistance on the effective contraceptive use CCO incentive metric. Providing technical assistance to health systems, CCOs and clinics is one strategy to increase effective contraceptive use, address disparities in unintended pregnancies and improve women’s health, pregnancy and birth outcomes. To request more information about prior technical assistance for this metric, contact the Transformation Center at Transformation.Center@odhsoha.oregon.gov.
