The WV IMMRP first convened in 2010. The committee is comprised of various fields of subject matter experts in relation to infant and maternal deaths and is mandated by legislation those that must be members of the panel. The Panel meets at least annually but is transitioning to quarterly meetings in order to cover all infant deaths throughout the year. All maternal deaths and all infant deaths are reviewed. In 2018, there were slightly more than 18,000 births in West Virginia and 3 pregnancy realted deaths. The Infant and Maternal Mortality Review process is a method of understanding the diverse factors and issues that contribute to preventable deaths and identifying and implementing interventions to address these problems. The knowledge gained from the reviews will be used to enhance services, influence public health policy and direct planning efforts intended to lower mortality rates.
