Program Logic Model
Program Goal: Reduce maternal mortality in rural counties through enhanced prenatal care access
| Component | Content |
|---|---|
| Inputs | State health dept funding ($500K), clinical staff (6 FTE), EHR system, 2 new clinic sites |
| Activities | Mobile clinics (monthly), telehealth prenatal screening, provider training curriculum |
| Outputs | 1,200 pregnant women screened, 8 providers trained, 24 clinic visits delivered |
| Outcomes (1yr) | 85% screening completion, 40% reduction in missed high-risk pregnancies, 15-point provider knowledge gain |
| Impact (3yr) | 20% reduction in maternal mortality, improved health equity for rural populations |
Grant Proposal Excerpt
Problem Statement: Rural counties experience maternal mortality rates 2.8× higher than urban areas, driven by prenatal care access gaps, provider shortages, and transportation barriers affecting 8,500 pregnant women annually.
Proposed Solution: Deploy 2 mobile clinics delivering integrated prenatal screening, telehealth consultation, and evidence-based provider training to underserved pregnant women.
Expected Outcomes: Serve 1,200 women annually; identify 40% more high-risk pregnancies early; train 8 primary care providers in maternal health protocols; reduce preventable adverse events by 25%.

| HIPAA Privacy Rule | Encrypted EHR system; annual staff HIPAA training required | BAA with EHR vendor; training certificates |
| CDC Maternal Health Strategic Priority | Program aligns with CDC's elimination of preventable maternal mortality initiative | Logic model cross-reference |
| State Health Plan Goals | Supports state 20% maternal mortality reduction goal by 2030 | State health plan excerpt (attached) |
