The Georgia Maternal Mortality Review Committee (MMRC) has completed case reviews and has released two reports of its findings for 2012 and 2013. The MMRC report provides:
- An overview of reviewed cases
- Prenatal/Intrapartum factors associated with maternal mortality
- Causes of pregnancy-related deaths
- Opportunities for prevention
- Recommendations
This initiative was a result of collaboration between the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH), the Georgia Obstetric and Gynecological Society and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The support of the Georgia General Assembly and Governor with the passage of SB 273 laid the foundation for this work by providing legal protections for committee members and the review process, ensuring confidentiality of the review process and providing the committee with the necessary authority to collect data for case review.
