# [Introducing the Integrated Care Quality Series + Session 1 Registration Now Open](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/integrated-care)

 Written by [Brooke Kochanski](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/blog/author/brooke-kochanski) | May 8, 2026 3:04:03 PM

We’re excited to launch the [**Integrated Care Quality Series**](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/integratedcare), a four-part educational series designed to support providers, care teams, and partners in improving outcomes across maternal, preventive, and pediatric care.

Aligned with NC Medicaid’s 2026 Withhold Program, this series will provide practical strategies, updated guidance, and actionable tools to strengthen high-quality, equitable care across the care continuum.

All sessions will be held via **live webinar**.

**Please note:** These programs are open to NC Health Department employees only.  
Course registration is generously supported by the North Carolina Alliance of Public Health Agencies.

## **Now Open: Session 1 Registration**

### **Prenatal & Postpartum Care (PPC)**

**May 27, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM**  
**Live Webinar**

Prenatal and postpartum care is foundational to maternal and infant health outcomes. The Withhold Program emphasizes timely prenatal care initiation and postpartum visits within 7–84 days after delivery. This session will review updated specifications, data collection requirements, F‑code documentation, and culturally responsive engagement strategies to support pregnant and postpartum members.

A Q&A session will be held two weeks after the event; access details will be shared with participants.

### **Participants will be able to:**

✅ Describe PPC measure components and 2026 performance expectations  
✅ Apply correct documentation practices—including F‑code usage—to improve data capture and completeness  
✅ Identify barriers to timely prenatal and postpartum care and implement outreach workflows to address them  
✅ Integrate equity-centered approaches to support members disproportionately impacted by maternal morbidity

## **What’s Coming Next**

Future sessions in the series will explore:

- Screening for Health-Related Resource Needs (HRRN)
- Women’s Preventive Health (Cervical & Breast Cancer Screening)
- Child & Adolescent Well-Care and Immunizations

We’ll be announcing additional session details soon, with registration opening shortly for fall offerings.
