​Fetal Infant Mortality Review

Picture
What is the Fetal & Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) Project?
Governor Lawton Chiles established Healthy Start Coalitions to address the infant mortality rate in the state of Florida. At the Healthy Start Coalition of Osceola County, we are fighting to reduce infant mortality, as are Healthy Start Coalitions across the state. One major way to do this is through the Fetal Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) project.
FIMR is a community-based effort aimed at addressing factors and issues that affect infant mortality and health disparities. The objectives of FIMR are to examine the significant social, economic, cultural, environmental, and health systems factors associated with fetal and infant mortality through a review of individual death records.
FIMR comprises two groups, the Case Review Team (CRT) and the Community Action Group (CAG).
  • The Case Review Team (CRT), a multi-disciplinary team of professionals, uses unidentified/patient-blinded abstracted information from vital records (death and birth certificates), hospitals, clinics, physicians, police, Medical Examiner records, and family/maternal interviews. The team reviews the cases and sends recommendations to the CAG.
  • The Community Action Group (CAG) comprises community leaders representing government, consumers, key institutions, and health and human services organizations. The members work collaboratively with the CRT to implement strategies to improve fetal and infant outcomes within our community.
Consider joining a FIMR committee to help us in our work of improving birth, health and developmental outcomes and reducing infant mortality. For more information, email our FIMR Coordinator, Misbah Kauser: [email protected].
