Establishment of a national severe maternal morbidity preventability review in New Zealand
Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) review is an accepted quality measure to evaluate maternity care standards. Assessment of the potential preventability of SMM enables identification of factors and themes to inform clinical training and policy to improve maternal outcomes. The present report outlines the introduction of a national/regional external case review system using multidisciplinary panels to assess potential preventability of SMM, to assist other health jurisdictions to establish similar processes.
