# Maternal Mortality Review Abstraction > Case narrative abstraction for maternal mortality and fatality review committees, structured to the national data dictionary and page-cited throughout. Canonical page: https://medrecords.ai/solutions/maternal-mortality-review-abstraction/ --- [Home](https://medrecords.ai/) ›[Solutions](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/) ›Maternal Mortality Review MATERNAL MORTALITY REVIEW ABSTRACTION ## The committee needs a narrative. The records arrive as a stack. Maternal mortality review abstraction services build the de-identified case narrative a review committee reads: prenatal course, delivery, postpartum events, and the contributing social and clinical history, ordered and page-cited. The committee spends its meeting deliberating on preventability rather than reconstructing what happened.

So is the committee that applies it. We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. In maternal mortality review, both are already published. The standard and the referee The rulebook - The CDC Maternal Mortality Review Information Application (MMRIA) data dictionary, which defines the case narrative structure and every coded field - The committee's own decision framework: pregnancy-relatedness, cause of death, preventability, and contributing factors - State statutes granting the review committee its confidentiality protection and record access - The abstraction abbreviation and de-identification conventions the committee works under The referee - The maternal mortality review committee, which votes on pregnancy-relatedness, preventability, and contributing factors - The state health department, which reports committee findings and acts on recommendations - The CDC, which aggregates MMRIA data across states and depends on consistent abstraction An abstractor building narratives one case at a time, months behind the deaths Flat 10¢/page here, duplicates free Case narrative · Case #IME-4812 cited 100% Packet342 pp / 2 packets · 11 deduplicatedlogged Prenatal courseVisit by visit, with risk factorscited Delivery & postpartumOrdered to the hour where documentedcited IdentifiersRemoved before the committee sees itredacted Narrative delivered · cited 100% · no preventability finding How it works ### 3 steps between the records and the committee. 01 #### Send the case records Prenatal records, hospital charts, EMS run sheets, autopsy and vital records, and social service documentation, in any format. 02 #### We return the narrative, page-cited A chronological case narrative in the MMRIA structure, with identifiers removed and every statement citing the source record behind it. 03 #### The committee deliberates Pregnancy-relatedness, preventability, and contributing factors are committee determinations, reached in the room, by the people the statute names. The boundary, in writing ### A narrative for the committee, not a preventability finding. We build and cite the chronological narrative in the structure the data dictionary defines, with identifiers removed. We do not determine pregnancy-relatedness, classify preventability, name contributing factors, or write recommendations. Every one of those is a committee vote. De-identification is done before the narrative leaves us, and every removal is logged. If a document turns out to belong to a different patient, it is quarantined in its own line rather than folded into the case.

No. Pregnancy-relatedness, cause of death, preventability, and contributing factors are committee determinations. We build the chronological narrative and cite every statement in it, so the committee deliberates from a complete, checkable account rather than from partial records. Identifiers are removed before the narrative is delivered, and every removal is logged in the audit trail. The committee sees the case; it does not see the name. The unredacted source stays with you. Yes. The narrative is built in the structure the CDC data dictionary defines, so it drops into the committee's existing workflow. The abstractor still reviews and enters the coded fields — we don't submit to MMRIA or code a decision field on the committee's behalf. No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have — review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days; you can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes. ### Send 1 file. We'll tell you what we can read. No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
