The FIMR Case Review Team meets bimonthly Review process developed by the American

College of Obstetrics & Gynecology is used. Information abstracted from birth, death,

prenatal care, Healthy Start, WIC, hospital and autopsy records.

Efforts are also made to interview the family. All information is de-identified. Purpose is to determine specific medical,

social, financial and other issues that may have impacted the poor birth outcome.

Recommendations for community action drafted annually based on findings.

The purpose of FIMR is to examine cases with the worst outcomes to identify gaps in services that might be addressed through community action.

Cases selected for review based on specific criteria such as:Zip codes with high infant mortality ratesFetal losses over 36 weeks gestation or 2500

gramsDeaths in outlying counties, etc.
