A Project to Reduce Infant Deaths in Tulsa County

MISSION: Tulsa’s fetal and infant mortality review (TFIMR) project is designed to enhance the health and well-being of women, infants and families. Studying recent fetal and infant deaths occurring in our community enables us to identify trends and explore ways to reduce fetal and infant mortality.

GOAL: Bring community members together to examine social, economic, cultural, safety and health systems factors associated with fetal and infant death. Through TFIMR, the community becomes expert in planning locally appropriate policies and specific interventions to better serve families and the community as a whole.

SCOPE: Over the past ten years, locally initiated FIMR teams have been established in communities across the United States. National guidelines for a standardized review process have been developed through the joint efforts of:

· US Department of Health & Human Services
· US Public Health Service
· The Health Resources & Services Administration
· The Maternal & Child Health Bureau
· The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

Funded in part by the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resource and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Bureau and Oklahoma Title V Block Grant through the Oklahoma State Department of Health.
