Ohio Collaborative to Prevent Infant Mortality (OCPIM)
It’s all about the name of our organization: OCPIM.
- IM stands for infant mortality. Our “north star” is infant mortality. We must always consider any intervention, policy or community engagement activity through that filter.
- P stands for prevention. We want to eliminate infant mortality. Why “eliminate?” Because no death is acceptable. An aspirational goal is important for all of us.
- C stands for collaborative. We are a collaborative. OCPIM members represent stakeholder organizations that embrace the elimination of infant mortality as an important strategic goal. We seek to learn from each other to eliminate infant mortality.
- O stands for Ohio. The geography that defines our key outcomes is the State of Ohio. Our successes and our challenges are defined by state-wide outcomes.
Our Vision
Working together to eliminate infant mortality in Ohio.
Our Mission
To eliminate preventable infant mortality and improve the health of all women of childbearing years throughout the state of Ohio through sharing of data, best practices, community engagement, and advocacy.
Our Purpose
As a statewide partnership, OCPIM will function as a platform for community engagement, exchange of best practices, data management, and advocacy. Success will be defined by the important infant health outcomes, driving infant mortality reduction, including extreme preterm birth, sleep-related infant death, and congenital malformations.
Who We Are
Members of OCPIM include stakeholder organizations from throughout Ohio who desire to work together on behalf of a common goal to eliminate infant mortality through interventions based upon available evidence and informed by high-quality data.
Membership recruitment is ongoing we want to seek out diverse partnerships with an emphasis being placed non-traditional community level organizations, that can guide activities through a critical race lens as we work to achieve equity in Ohio's birth outcomes.
Membership Focus
OCPIM and its members will focus on four organizational activities:
• Community engagement to support those at most risk to experience the direct consequences of infant death and suboptimal birth outcomes.
• Exchange of non-traditional interventions and practices designed to improve birth outcomes in Ohio. This includes unsuccessful as well successful practices.
• Optimization of relevant data collection, analysis, and dissemination among stakeholder organizations.
• Advocate for legislation and policies that optimize women’s health, improve birth outcomes, and eliminate preventable infant mortality.
Ohio Collaborative to Prevent Infant Mortality 2.0
OCPIM will continue to build upon established collaborations through recruitment and engagement strategies.
• This work will continue to elevate the work of all OCPIM members and identify opportunities for synergy and spread.
• OCPIM advocacy work will be based upon data-driven, evidence-based principles that reflect a commitment to equity and social justice in communities across Ohio.
• OCPIM will work to access timely, transparent, consistent data to evaluate our progress.
Two co-leaders will be assigned to each region. Click here to see the OCPIM Regionalization map. (More information to come
