Office on Women’s Health for Midlife through Menopause Mortality and Morbidity Reduction Initiative

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is seeking information from qualified organizations to support the Office on Women’s Health for Midlife through Menopause Mortality and Morbidity Reduction Initiative. The initiative aims to promote healthy aging and wellness and reduce morbidity and mortality among midlife and menopausal women by strengthening breast cancer screening and early detection and preventing complications associated with recurrent urinary tract infections. The work requires access to large, nationally representative inpatient and outpatient data sets and expertise in women's health, data analysis, clinical implementation, health systems engagement, development and implementation of large quality improvement collaboratives, and evaluation of interventions. Some key aspects of the job include: • Conducting comprehensive analysis utilizing large nationally representative database(s) containing inpatient, outpatient, laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy health data relevant to both workstreams. • Assessing care and outcome variation by age, menopausal status, race and ethnicity, geography, rurality, payer, and other relevant population characteristics. • Establishing and operating large scale quality improvement learning collaboratives to identify, test, refine, and scale reliable practices and implementation strategies. • Building a national evidence base on care patterns, outcomes, and opportunities for improvement during midlife and the menopause transition. • Translating evidence into scalable clinical and operational practices through learning collaboratives, quality improvement, implementation support, and stakeholder engagement.
