The Indiana Maternal Mortality Review Committee first convened in 2018. The committee has 65 members, meets monthly, and reviews all pregnancy-associated cases. In 2018, Indiana had 81651 live births and 10 pregnancy-related deaths. The mission is to increase awareness of the issues surrounding pregnancy-related death and to promote change among individuals, communities, and healthcare systems in order to reduce the number of deaths. The mission of the Indiana Maternal Mortality Review Committee is to identify pregnancy-associated deaths, review those caused by pregnancy complications and other associated causes, and identify problems contributing to these deaths and recommend interventions that may reduce these deaths.
