Overview of Identifying and Selecting Pregnancy-Associated Deaths

Many committee members find it beneficial to hear a brief overview of the process for identifying and selecting cases for abstraction and review.

Items to consider for this discussion may include the process used for identification, a summary of cases identified and the process for sending cases for abstraction.
