Deliverables – Doula Services (Only for home visiting programs with IDEC approval to include doulas) The main objective of the doula enhancement for home visiting is to support positive maternal and infant health outcomes. Ideally, doula services should commence at the beginning of the third trimester of pregnancy. The doula and long-term home visitor should work together to introduce services to expectant families. The doula and home visitor must coordinate home visits in the perinatal period to avoid duplication of services while ensuring that the long-term home visitor begins a relationship with the family early enough to ensure a smooth transition from doula/home visitor services to just home visiting services. The transition to home visiting usually takes place when the infant is 2-3 months old. 1. Core program services a. Promote active engagement of new program families in long-term home visiting services through initial prenatal and intrapartum program experiences; b. Provide seamless transitions from doula to home visiting-only services; c. Promote a parental sense of confidence, competence, and comfort in the mother's physical, emotional, and social transition into parenthood; d. Promote positive health practices for developing baby and new parent; e. Promote a growing sense of emotional availability, attunement, and engagement with the developing and new infant; f. Prepare for labor and delivery and provide intrapartum doula support in an effort to bring about positive birth outcomes for infant and parent; g. Support newborn care and feeding; and h. Organize and facilitate prenatal groups. 2. Hiring and compensation a. Recruit, hire, and retain doulas who reflect the community served and effectively build rapport and communicate with families. b. Fill any staff vacancies without delay. c. The program must maintain two (2) full time equivalent (FTE) home visitors for every one (1) FTE doula. The goal is to have all doula participants transition into the long-term home visiting program. Because doula services are time-limited, doulas serve more families over the course of a year than a home visitor. Generally, a ratio of at least two (or more) home visitors for every doula will ensure that there will be enough home visitors to serve all participants who are finishing doula services. d. Doulas should be available on-call 24/7. They must have flexible schedules because it is crucial that they be present during labor and delivery, and births often happen outside of normal working hours. This expectation should be made clear to candidates for doula positions, and programs should keep this requirement in mind in deciding how they will grade and compensate doula positions. e. Doulas should co-facilitate a series of prenatal groups. Prenatal groups offer an efficient way for parents-to-be to learn about prenatal care and the birthing process while connecting with a peer group and continuing to build a relationship with their doula. f. Programs must ensure that there is backup capacity so that participants will receive doula support when their primary doula is on vacation, ill, unable to attend a birth, or when there are vacancies in the program. This will generally mean having at least two (2) doulas as part of a program's staffing pattern, but backup can also be achieved by having a supervisor trained as a doula or by having a part-time position in addition to a full-time doula. g. Doulas work in collaboration with home visitors to ensure a smooth transition between doula and home visiting services h. Assure that doulas receive the salaries shown in the table below, at minimum. Assure that doula supervisors receive the salaries shown below, at minimum, if the supervisor is at least 50% FTE on this grant. Position Minimum Salary for 1.0 FTE Doula $48,686 6-County Metropolitan Chicago Area (Cook DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Will) $42,440 Rest of the State Doula Supervisor (if the supervisor is at least 50% FTE on this grant) $59,598 6-County Metropolitan Chicago Area (Cook DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Will) $52,864 Rest of the State 3. Professional development a. The program will be offered technical assistance from the Start Early Professional Learning Network. b. New doulas must receive pre-service and in-service training from the Start Early Professional Learning Network. c. Doulas must maintain their doula certification (for example, from DONA International). 4. Clinical consultation a. Programs must contract with a clinical consultant. A clinical consultant is part of the doula model so that doulas have the support they might need to serve participants who have medically complicated pregnancies. These consultants are generally registered nurses, midwives, or other professionals who have training in the medical aspects of pregnancy and childbirth. b. Ideally, clinical consultation will take place in person, but consultation may be conducted virtually as needed. c. Clinical consultants are generally contracted for about 10 hours per month. d. The hourly rate for clinical consultants starts at $150 per hour for virtual consultation (some consultants will add travel expenses for in-person consultation) 5. Program capacity a. The caseload for a 1.0 FTE doula is nine (9) participants at a single point in time. Some of these persons are pregnant; some are postpartum. Doulas attend approximately two births every month. Doula caseload sizes are smaller than those for other home visitors because of the extended time spent with the birthing parent during labor and delivery. b. The doula intervention is time-limited (generally lasting for about five months) so a caseload of nine (9) or ten (10) families at any one point in time would result in a doula serving approximately 23 families over the course of a year. 6. Community-centered program services a. Provide doula services that are responsive to the community served. b. Provide program materials (e.g., brochures, curricula, handouts, etc.) that are appropriate for the community to be served, taking into account literacy levels, etc. 7. Community systems development and cross-referrals a. The ability of doulas to be present during the labor and delivery process is key to the success of this service. Programs must have written or verbal agreements with local birthing hospitals and birthing centers that ensure that the hospital/center will allow doulas to attend the births of their participants. b. The program should also have memoranda of understanding (MOUs) or other mechanisms in place with prenatal clinics, WIC programs, etc. to ensure that pregnant persons in the program's population will be referred by the 26th week of pregnancy. 8. Quality assurance and program improvement a. Track birth outcomes and utilize data to inform and improve practice. Deliverables – Coordinated Intake 1. Policies and procedures a. Develop or update Coordinated Intake policies and procedures manual within the first 6 months of the grant year. The manual should include the following: i. a Collaborative mission statement; ii. a clear communication plan outlining how CI makes referral decisions (which must refer to eligibility requirements of partner programs and protocol for when multiple programs are able to serve a family); iii. detailed flow charts that illustrate how referrals are processed through CI for each of the following referral sources: direct CI recruit; referral to CI from a community partner; referral to CI from a home visiting program; iv. process for connecting families to other available services when local home visiting programs have no openings; v. process for following up with waiting list participants at least monthly to monitor availability of services and eligibility of participants vi. process for avoiding dual enrollment in more than one intensive home visiting program. vii. process for monitoring changes in local home visiting programs’ eligibility criteria and incorporating changes into referral procedures viii. expectation for all parties to respond to all referral sources (including follow-up inquiries) with the status of referrals and timeline for enrollment within 2 business days of receiving the referral or inquiry. ix. brief summary of the data system used to track the above x. a defined process for how aggregate referral data is shared with all collaborative partners in order to promote transparency; xi. a back-up system used to complete and send referrals out in a timely way when the CI is absent. xii.

Assure that all coordinated intake workers and supervisors join the Gateways to Opportunity Registry. d. Assure that coordinated intake workers receive the salaries shown in the table below, at minimum. Assure that coordinated intake supervisors receive the salaries shown below, at minimum, if the supervisor is at least 50% FTE on this grant.
