Abstract:
The implementation of multidisciplinary clinical audit for cases with severe maternal morbidity is an important way to reduce preventable maternal death. We encourage using screening indicators and additional clinical criteria, especially professional review, to identify real critical case which is potentially improved and then trigger clinical audit. Whatever methods and processes we will take, it is time to start. Further investigations are needed to develop standardized process for facility-based clinical audit, and to provide evidence for updates of guidelines and public health policies.
