A. The committee reviews prepared case summaries based on the information obtained from reports, records, and data files related to an incident of maternal mortality and entered into the MMRIA database by an abstractor. The committee is responsible for reviewing the summary, identifying contributing factors, making a determination on preventability and pregnancy-relatedness, and articulating recommendations. The lead abstractor shall be responsible for documenting committee decisions regarding case summaries in MMRIA within 30 days of committee review.

B. Any committee member who is concerned that any essential information is being missed by the decisions the abstractor makes in creating summaries may initiate a request to the clinical co-chair or operational staff with the authority to collect information that:

(1) an abstractor's work be reviewed by the clinical co-chair and designated operational staff; or

(2) an alternative abstractor be assigned.
