Maternal Mortality Review Committees [MMRCs] are multidisciplinary committees that convene at the state or local level to comprehensively review deaths during or within a year of pregnancy [pregnancy-associated deaths]. MMRCs have access to clinical and non-clinical information [e.g., vital records, medical records, social service records] to more fully understand the circumstances surrounding each death, determine whether the death was pregnancy-related, and develop recommendations for action to prevent similar deaths in the future.
