Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Campus Compact Pay It Forward Student Philanthropy Project of Nursing for the Pay It Forward Columbus Public Health Women's Health Center Postpartum Protocol Pilot Project. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $2,250.00 in grant money to fund this project.

The goal of this grant is to increase the percentage of women from 46% to 67% who schedule and complete their postpartum (PP) visit. This will be achieved by incorporating PP education during each trimester of prenatal care at routine visits, shortening the scheduling of PP visits from 6 weeks to 2-4 weeks, and providing $20 gift cards as incentives for women to complete the PP visits. This grant is for the period March 2, 2011 through December 31, 2011.

Emergency action is requested to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.

FISCAL IMPACT: This program is funded by Ohio Campus Compact, and will not generate revenue or require a City match.
