Universal Citation: 7 NM Admin Code 7.4.8.6
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

These regulations are promulgated pursuant to statute to define and support the maternal mortality review committee, the purpose of which is to comprehensively review and analyze deaths that occur during pregnancy, childbirth and the year postpartum; to identify remediable problems contributing to maternal mortality; to develop recommended interventions to prevent these deaths; and disseminate findings. The committee shall also review aggregate data related to severe maternal morbidity to look for opportunities for improvement in care that could lead to improved maternal outcomes and fewer deaths. Given the persistent and significant disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality experienced by people of color in New Mexico and the United States overall, the committee will apply lenses of racial justice, diverse representation and health equity across its functions including staffing, committee membership and leadership, case review and analysis.
