Philidelphia has developed a fatality review program that combines a Child fatality Review (CFR) with a Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR). "Lessons Learned" from the program have important application for maternal and child health policy and practice. As an exemplar of the potential of the fatality review process to inform prevention programs, this poster will present review team findings and the way in which they have helped to shape specific smoking cessation policies and practices for DECYWH-administered prenatal services offered at PDPH Community Health Center sites. The structure of the review process and the methods used to identify prevention opportunities will be described.
