About

The Perinatal Outreach Educators of Illinois (POEI) is a planning and action group comprised of nurse educators and professionals in the State of Illinois.

The purpose of the organization is to collaboratively and collectively address educational issues which impact perinatal outcomes in Illinois. This group meets multiple times a year to network, develop programs, share information and discuss

state initiatives and programs.

POEI works collaboratively within the state of IL quality improvement programs to address identified issues of morbidity and mortality, e.g. decreasing the number of preterm deliveries and low birth weight infants, eliminating elective deliveries of less than 39 weeks gestation, and breastfeeding initiatives.
