摘要：

Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) has been a dynamic process from its inceptionin the 1980s. Essentially, it is a local, community-driven process that has grown and been refined as more communities adopt the methodology. The National Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (NFIMR) Program, a partnership between the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, serves as a resource for state and local communities implementing FIMR. In this issue of the Maternal and Child Health Journal, two articles by Baltay et al. (1) and Grason and Misra (2) examine the implementation of FIMR in the original federal Healthy Start programs and present findings of interest to the MCH community.
