Feasibility and Acceptability of a Toolkit-Based Process to Implement Patient-Centered, Immediate Postpartum Long-Acting Reversible Contraception Services

National guidelines recommend that maternity systems provide patient-centered access to immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception (i.e., insertion of an intrauterine device or implant during the delivery hospitalization). Hospitals face significant barriers to offering these services, and efforts to improve peripartum contraception care quality have met with mixed success. Implementation toolkits —packages of resources and strategies to facilitate implementation of new services—are a promising approach for guiding clinical practice change.
