Tulsa Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Program (TFIMR)
Working to Reduce Infant Mortality
The TFIMR program studies fetal and infant deaths in our community in order to identify trends and implement preventive measures to reduce the infant mortality rate.
A TFIMR Case Review Team examines local cases of fetal or infant death by reviewing information collected from physician and hospital records, parent interviews, relevant documents, etc. The team also identifies barriers to care and trends in service delivery, and suggests ideas to improve policies and systems that affect families.
A TFIMR Community Action Team then puts these recommendations into action appropriate for our community and participates in implementing interventions designed to address the identified problems.
The TFIMR program is a collaborative effort of the Tulsa Health Department, the Oklahoma State Department of Health, the Tulsa Healthy Start Initiative, and the Family Health Coalition. For more information, please contact TFIMR Program Coordinator Pam Rask at (918) 595-4418.
