Tool for Assessing Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance (MPDSR) Processes in Facilities

The MPDSR process involves the systematic collection, analysis, and response to data on maternal and perinatal deaths to identify areas for improvement and implement evidence-based interventions. Facilities implementing MPDSR processes typically have a structured approach to data collection, analysis, and review. The MPDSR process involves the use of standardized forms and guidelines to ensure consistency and accuracy in data collection. Facilities also have a designated coordinator or committee responsible for overseeing and coordinating MPDSR activities. The MPDSR process involves regular meetings and reviews to discuss and analyze data on maternal and perinatal deaths. These meetings provide an opportunity for healthcare providers to discuss challenges and identify areas for improvement. The MPDSR process also involves the implementation of recommendations and interventions to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality. Facilities with a combined MPDSR committee typically have a broader range of stakeholders involved in the decision-making process. This includes healthcare providers, facility managers, and community representatives. The combined committee is responsible for overseeing and coordinating both maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response activities. The MPDSR process is typically implemented in facilities with a high volume of births. Facilities with a high volume of births are more likely to have a dedicated MPDSR coordinator or committee. The MPDSR process is also more likely to be implemented in facilities with a strong focus on maternal and child health care.
