What we do

Project ACCESS (Abortion Care Clinical Expansion and Early Pregnancy Loss Support Series) is a program to expand access to comprehensive and high-quality sexual and reproductive health, including medication abortion and early pregnancy loss care, in primary care settings.

We have experience working with a variety of primary care and other community-based health care providers, including Title X and 330 grantees, to help them integrate medication abortion and early pregnancy loss (EPL) care into their practices, and can tailor technical assistance and training to a site’s needs. We can provide you with:

• Support in building a multidisciplinary change team to champion medication abortion and/or EPL implementation efforts
• Recommendations for operational, administrative, and clinical best practices
• Guidance in developing policies and procedures around clinical workflow, billing and coding, safety and security, and legal compliance
• Experts to facilitate values clarification workshops, medication abortion trainings, early pregnancy loss workshops, and more
• Resources like patient education materials, consent forms, and protocol and electronic health record (EHR) templates
• Connections to trusted experts for legal advice or information, as well as brokers to obtain wrap-around malpractice coverage
• Access to a community of clinicians who have also worked to integrate medication abortion care into their health centers

We can also provide training to support your site’s implementation of medication abortion and/or EPL care into practice:

• Values Clarification: a workshop designed to assess staff attitudes and beliefs about abortion in a non-judgemental environment
• Clinician training: a workshop designed for clinicians to learn more about medication abortion, including didactic portions and participatory case study exploration (CE credit available)
• Support staff training: a workshop designed for support staff to learn how to counsel, triage, and support medication abortion patients, including didactic portions and participatory case study exploration

We provide this support in a one-on-one and/or learning collaborative setting. Please reach out to program@reproductiveaccess.org if you have any questions, or would like more information.
