Proposed Project: National Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR)
Program Evaluation--New
The Johns Hopkins Women's and Children's Health Policy Center,
under a cooperative agreement with the Maternal and Child Health Bureau
(MCHB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is
conducting a national evaluation of the Fetal and Infant Mortality
Review Program. FIMR is community based, aimed at guiding communities
to identify and solve problems contributing to poor reproductive
outcomes and infant health by using the sentinel event of an infant
death to systematically examine a wide array of factors that are
related to infant mortality. FIMR findings are used to stimulate policy
development and quality improvement efforts. The purpose of this
evaluation is to look at the effect of FIMRs and other community-level
perinatal systems initiatives on health systems, with an eye toward
characterizing the unique contributions of the FIMR model and process.
The main objectives of the FIMR evaluation are: (1) to compare the
impact of FIMR on the health and related service systems for women,
infants, and families with infants with that of other perinatal systems
related initiatives, and (2) to compare the implementation of public
health functions related to policies, programs, and practices for
women, infants, and families with infants across a number of community
systems initiatives. The study will utilize three survey instruments
for data collection.
The estimated response burden is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
