Implementing Quality Family Planning, or IQFP, provides clinic staff with the knowledge and skills they need to engage with family planning clients, apply client-centered care, and share evidence-based information on a wide range of contraceptive methods.
The IQFP Toolkits are comprehensive curricula to be used by facilitators familiar with the QFP guidelines to train clinical staff or prescribers.
IQFP Curriculum (Standard) is for experienced staff or clinicians to train non-prescribing staff, including registered nurses and health educators. The IQFP Curriculum consists of two modules: (1) Contraception Overview and (2) Client-Centered Counseling in the Family Planning Setting
IQFP-RX Curriculum (IQFP For Prescribers) is for experienced clinicians to train other clinicians and includes additional in-depth information on prescribing and management. The IQFP-RX Curriculum consists of three modules: (1) Contraception Overview (2) Client-Centered Counseling in the Family Planning Setting (3) Advanced Contraception
The Toolkit Tour below gives an introduction to the Implementing Quality Family Planning (IQFP) Curriculum, a walkthrough of the toolkits, and information on how to customize your training using the toolkits.
This toolkit consists of a collection of evidence-based resources related to Subcutaneous Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate, or DMPA-SC. It is available below as an interactive toolkit hosted on our website. You may also download a pdf version.
In the video below, Dr. Jennifer Karlin, one of the toolkit developers, walks through how to use the online toolkit. A pdf of the toolkit is also available.
This new resource, Coding and Billing Recommendations for Counseling, Education and Ongoing Monitoring of Patients Electing to use DMPA Subcutaneously (SubQ) via Self-administration, will help family planning providers document activities related to provision of self-administered SubQ DMPA, including ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes and Procedure Codes. Modifiers for telehealth visits are included.
This course focuses on the Recommendations for Providing Quality Family Planning Services (QFP) developed collaboratively by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This course is recommended for clinicians who have completed previous training(s) on the QFP or are familiar with the QFP.
This course is self-paced through our e-learning system and takes approximately 4.25 hours. No CE is available at this time, only a certificate of completion.
In this episode, Ann Finn will review ICD-10 codes for different birth control methods in under 10 minutes. This podcast series assists family planning providers with appropriate and timely reimbursement.
Founded as the National Clinical Training Center for Family Planning (NCTCFP) in 2006, we changed our name to the Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CTC-SRH) in 2023. We have been funded by the Office of Population Affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services since inception and remain the primary source of clinical training for those providing sexual and reproductive health care in federally-funded settings.
Having served the Title X network for nearly two decades, our team of clinical experts recognized that the term “family planning” falls short of describing the client-centered and inclusive sexual and reproductive health services we offer, especially in an increasingly urgent and rapidly shifting healthcare landscape.
The newly-renamed Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CTC-SRH) continues to provide evidence-based clinical training and resources to healthcare providers in Title X settings through increased healthcare quality, equity, and access.
