Primary Measure - Most and Moderately Effective Contraceptive Provision or Use: Percentage of patients ages 15-44 and assigned female at birth who received a most or moderately effective contraceptive, or were documented to use a most or moderately effective contraceptive method in the measurement period. The primary measure captures new provision as well as current use of most and moderately effective contraceptive methods to accurately capture contraceptive utilization even if provided in a different calendar year or a different health care site.
Primary Measure - Most and Moderately Effective Contraceptive Provision or Use: Percentage of patients ages 15-44 assigned female at birth with a live birth delivery who received a most or moderately effective contraceptive, or were documented to use a most or moderately effective contraceptive method, in the postpartum period.

The measure is a PRE-PM, which calculates the percentage of contraceptive care patients who give a “top box” score for their experience of contraceptive counseling.
