Maternal Mortality Review Committee
Illinois Department of Public Health69 West Washington St Chicago, IL (Directions)
35th Floor
From the IDPH webpage on Current Maternal Health Projects and Committees: This committee is a sub-committee of the Perinatal Advisory Committee (PAC). The committee meets quarterly to review maternal deaths that have occurred during the pregnancy hospital admission. The original Obstetric Hemorrhage Education Project of 2008 was developed due to the findings of this committee. Maternal hemorrhages were occurring at an astounding rate, hence the development of the Obstetric Hemorrhage Education Project. The updates to the Obstetric Hemorrhage Education Project is also a result of the MMRC findings. After the inception of the first OBHEP in 2008, maternal hemorrhages were decreased dramatically, however, hemorrhage is starting to increase as a reason for maternal mortalities which called for the 2016 updates.
