About this Event
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 Equity and Safe Sleep for Infants (ESSI).
We will also hear from other state perinatal quality collaboratives' success stories in patient and community engagement, Social Determinants of Health workflow, mental health, and other QI initiatives with insights from national leaders and personal stories.
Breakout sessions will be held for OB teams, Neonatal 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).

Annual Conference Teams Survey:
The Annual OB & Neonatal Teams Survey for ILPQC is live for QI teams to complete! This Annual Survey is an important opportunity for ILPQC to hear from YOUR TEAM. The survey asks about what teams need and want and how ILPQC can support teams in throughout the QI journey. It is important that EVERY team completes this survey. We want to hear from you! Please coordinate with your colleagues working across OB & neonatal initiatives to have ONE person from your hospital submit the survey by Friday, September 27th.
