Wrap-up and Evaluation
Calling all perinatal health advocates interested in improving perinatal health outcomes
Calling all obstetricians, neonatologists, pediatricians, nurse midwives, and other perinatal healthcare practitioners, nurses, lactation counselors, perinatal health educators, social workers, quality leaders, administrators, payers, public health professionals, and all advocates interested in perinatal health!
Join us to share strategies, lessons learned from perinatal quality improvements (QI) efforts across Illinois as well as across the country, and hear from national and state leaders providing resources and expertise as we strengthen state-based perinatal quality efforts to improve perinatal outcomes for our statewide QI initiatives: Birth Equity (BE), Promoting Vaginal Birth (PVB), and Babies Antibiotic Stewardship Improvement Collaborative (BASIC).
We will also hear from other state perinatal quality collaboratives’ success stories in Promoting Vaginal Birth, Neonatal Antibiotic Stewardship, Birth Equity, and other QI initiatives with insights from national leaders and personal stories.
Breakout sessions will be held for OB teams, NEO teams, as well as for community, family, and patient advisors. We will continue the tradition of teams sharing hospital QI initiatives with our interactive Poster Session (see below for abstract submission information).
