PHO Rounds: Maternal Mortality in Ontario – Partnerships for Awareness and Prevention

This PHO Rounds focuses on the surveillance and investigation of maternal death in Ontario from two perspectives. The ON Maternal Child Registry (BORN) uses clinical and administrative data to look at causes of maternal death along with demographics and risk factors. The Coroner’s Obstetrical and Perinatal Death Review Committee examines clinical care, underlying factors, and looks for areas of improvement. Both groups partner with other perinatal groups in Ontario to share findings and develop strategies for quality improvement.

Intended audience: Epidemiologists, policy makers, public health physicians and nurses, public health professionals with interest in maternal health.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the role of BORN Ontario in mortality surveillance and prevention of mortality.
2. Describe the role of the Coroner and the Obstetrical and Perinatal Death Review Committee coroner in investigating maternal death.
3. Review prevention strategies underway in Ontario to support surveillance, prevention and investigation of maternal mortality.
4. Outline areas where public health has a role to play in prevention of maternal mortality.
