Flex AI · Statewide executive briefing · FY26 Q3
Five things the program team should know this quarter:
- Preterm rate down 0.4pt YoY statewide (9.8% vs 10.2% FL avg) — Miami-Dade is the outlier, driving most of the remaining gap.
- Infant follow-up compliance up 6pt YoY (89%), still 2pt below the 91% target. Gap concentrated in 3 coalitions.
- EPDS coverage plateaued at 87% after 18 months of growth — consider a state-level training push in Q4.
- Glades & Monroe data-quality scores improving (+4 and +2 respectively), though both still below the 80 floor.
- Equity alert: Black/African American cohort preterm rate of 13.4% is 3.6pt above the Hispanic/Latina cohort and 6pt above white non-Hispanic. Persistent gap.
