ABSTRACT Objective We describe the origin, program design, and evaluation activities of Partners in Contraception Choice and Knowledge (PICCK), a statewide contraceptive access and quality initiative in Massachusetts, United States from 2018 to 2023. Methods PICCK primarily worked to improve contraceptive care at the state's birth hospitals and their affiliated outpatient practices using a champion model. In addition to hospital‐level quality improvement activities, PICCK implemented statewide programming to engage audiences beyond the partnered sites, including a webinar series, annual conference, and resource development. Results Champions at each hospital led coordination and implementation of customized programming for their site with support from PICCK staff. We conducted presentations and trainings by videoconference when in‐person activities were restricted during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Implementation periods ranged from 56 to 1323 days (average = 517.5 days). At the statewide level, we conducted 31 webinars, hosted three virtual annual conferences, and created 97 patient‐ and clinician‐facing resources. Conclusion PICCK was innovative in our dual approach to implementation, with both hospital‐based and statewide activities. The structure of PICCK could be adapted to implement other public health quality improvement programs in clinical settings or statewide, given the adaptability and broad reach of the program.
