Maternal and Child Health – Improving Oral Health Integration National Consortium (MCH-IOHI Consortium)

The Consortium will bridge the gap between evidence and practice. As the principal technical assistance (TA) provider, the Consortium will accelerate the adoption and implementation of evidence-based integrated POHC strategies that aim to advance health equity. The Consortium will provide targeted TA, using implementation science and collaborative learning, to strengthen an MCH-IOHI Project team’s two-tier, state and local, improvement approach. The Consortium will also provide universal TA that’s easily accessible to all states and jurisdictions. Universal TA will include the development and dissemination of evidence-based/-informed preventive oral health care resources and guidance.
