Additional Committee Information
MATERNAL MORTALITY REVIEW
The Maternal Mortality Review Committee (MMRC) is an advisory body to the Idaho State Board of Medicine. Reconstituted in 2024, the committee’s purpose is to identify, review, and analyze maternal deaths and determine if the pregnancy was incidental to, or a contributing factor in, the mother’s death. All cases presented to the MMRC are de-identified and will not be used for disciplinary actions by the Board of Medicine.
REPORT
The committee’s report will provide insights into maternal death trends and risk factors in Idaho year over year. An annual report will be published detailing their findings and will be presented to the Idaho Legislature on or before January 31st.
