Maternal and Child Health

New Jersey FIMR is a statewide system for fetal-infant mortality review. FIMR projects are funded through the 3 Maternal Child Health Consortia (MCHC) linked through the images below. The FIMR programs conduct reviews of fetal and infant deaths to identify potential causes and identify potential system changes.

*For more information on our Maternal Child Health Consortia partners, please visit MCHC page.

The NJ Department of Health’s Maternal Mortality Review Program is a statewide initiative that identifies and, using a multidisciplinary approach, systematically reviews all pregnancy-associated deaths.  The program seeks to improve the ability to examine perinatal systems and issues a periodic statewide report to document and share its findings.
