Maternal Mortality Sample Clauses

The Maternal Mortality clause defines the procedures and obligations that apply in the event of the death of a mother during childbirth or as a result of pregnancy-related complications. Typically, this clause outlines the responsibilities of the parties involved, such as notification requirements, insurance payouts, or the handling of medical records and benefits. Its core practical function is to ensure that there is a clear and fair process for addressing the consequences of maternal death, providing certainty and support to affected parties during a difficult time.

Maternal Mortality. In the Phase 1 communities, there was a large decrease in the maternal mortality ratio (MMR), from 524 in PY1 and 740 in PY2 to 281 in PY3 and a further decline to 221 in PY4, a 70% decline from PY2 (Table 2). In the Phase 2 communities, the MMR increased 43% from 435 in PY3 to 624 in PY4. All but two of the 34 maternal deaths for the combined set of communities in Phases 1 and 2 (n=32, 94%) were home deliveries. A very high percentage of maternal deaths occurred en route to a health facility: 26% (n=9). The large majority (62%, n=21) died at home, where there was no time for transport or the family was unable/ unwilling to transport the woman to a health facility. Post-partum hemorrhage accounted for 82% (n=28) of maternal deaths, followed by pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (9%, n=3), sepsis (6%, n=2) and complications of cesarean section (3%, n=1). Retained placenta was the most common underlying cause of death from hemorrhage (75%, n=21), followed by uterine atony (18%, n=5) and uterine rupture (7%, n=2). The second delay (recognizing danger but not responding or responding too late)accounted for 29% (n=10) of maternal mortality; the most frequently reason cited was lack of money for transportation. An equally large percentage were third delays (delay in transportation), 29% (n=10), which correlates with the high percentage who died en route to a health facility.

This decline from PY2 to PY4 was 70%. In Phase 2 communities, the MMR increased 43% from 435 in PY3 to 624 in PY4, an end-of-project ratio much higher than Phase 1’s 221 (Figure 1). Annualizing the PY4 data, there would have been 3 maternal deaths in PY4 in Phase 1, and 9 in Phase 2. For both Phases combined, end of project MMR was 428, up from 350 in PY3.

Maternal Mortality. ‌ The United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal 3.1 is to reduce the global maternal mortality rate by 2030 to less than 70 per 100,000 live births (UN DESA, 2018). Approximately 830 women die across the globe every day due to complications from pregnancy or childbirth, with an estimated 303,000 women in 2015 dying during and following pregnancy and childbirth (World Health Organization, 2018). The UN Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter- Agency Group indicated that almost all of these deaths in 2015 occurred in low-resource settings and could have been prevented (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2016). The probability that a 15-year-old woman will eventually die from a maternal cause is 1 in 180 in developing countries and 1 in 4900 in developed countries (World Health Organization, 2018). Maternal mortality is highest amongst women living in rural areas and more impoverished communities, with 99% of maternal deaths occurring in developing countries (World Health Organization, 2018). In 2015, the maternal mortality rate in developed countries was 12 per 100,000 live births, as compared to 239 per 100,000 in developing countries. Nearly 75% of all maternal deaths are caused by severe bleeding and infections primarily after childbirth, high blood pressure during pregnancy, delivery complications, and unsafe abortion (World Health Organization, 2018). According to the World Health Organization (WHO) (2018), it is crucial to prevent unwanted and too-early pregnancies by ensuring that all pregnancies are intended in order to prevent maternal deaths.

Maternal Mortality. Since the denominator (live births) to calculate the maternal mortality ratio in the CSRA area is so small relative to the 100,000 live births in the denominator of the ratio, it is not meaningful to evaluate the change in maternal mortality ratio in the CSRA population. For example, one maternal death in the CSRA population renders a ratio of 290 deaths per 100,000 live births. The maternal mortality ratios in four or five-year periods have 95% confidence intervals of ±67-141%. For these reasons, it is difficult to meaningfully assess the change in maternal mortality using an annual or four or five-year period maternal mortality ratio.

Maternal Mortality. The death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental or incidental causes (ibid).

Maternal Mortality. Maternal mortality is a significant public health issue in the United States. This country has the highest maternal mortality rate among high-income countries and the rates have been increasing although rates are declining elsewhere globally (MacDorman et. al., 2016). Specifically, from the years 1987 to 2011 the rates have increased from 7.2 to 17.8 deaths per 100,000 live births (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2017). Currently, there are an estimated 19.9 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, which is very high for a country that is considered to be one with a robust health care system (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2017). These numbers indicate a serious issue happening, and one that is getting worse. In 2010 to 2012 the pregnancy related mortality ratio for Georgia was 26.5 per 100,000 live births (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2016). Additionally in some more recent studies the maternal mortality rate is 6.8 times higher in Georgia (39.3 deaths per 100,000 live births) than in Massachusetts (5.8 deaths per 100,000 live births) (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2017). These numbers indicate severe maternal health issues in this state. Comparing the south-eastern state of Georgia to other states is important in understanding the context, however gaining more information about this situation through talking to individuals who are at these births is essential. Additionally, the rural hospital closures add another layer to this problem in the state. Multiple studies have only looked at the numbers of deaths, it is time to turn to looking to solutions. In terms of maternal mortality surveillance in the United States there are multiple methods being used currently, the National Vital Statistics System, the Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System, and maternal mortality review committees (Pierre et al., 2018). These systems inform the numbers of maternal health in the U.S. and influence the public health responses or policy responses. While these numbers are important, to understand the specific picture in rural Georgia, these need to be funneled down to create solutions tailored to specific states and communities. Qualitative research looking at different aspects of the United States geographically is essential to giving context to these numbers in places that can be focused on. Rural Disparities The lack of health and social services in rural areas contribute to the maternal mortality issue in the United States as evidenced by rural residents having a 9 percent greater probability of severe maternal morbidity and mo...

  • Internal Investigations (A) The parties recognize that Florida Highway Patrol personnel occupy a special place in American society. Therefore, it is understood that the state has the right to expect that a professional standard of conduct be adhered to by all Florida Highway Patrol personnel regardless of rank or assignment. Since internal investigations may be undertaken to inquire into complaints of Florida Highway Patrol misconduct, the state reserves the right to conduct such investigations to uncover the facts in each case, but expressly agrees to carefully guard and protect the rights and dignity of accused personnel. In the course of an internal investigation, the investigative methods employed will be consistent with the law (including but not limited to section 112.532, F.S.) and this agreement; nothing in this agreement, however, shall be deemed to diminish the rights of employees under applicable law. (B) When an allegation is made against an employee, the state will make every reasonable effort to ensure that the allegation and any related statements are reduced to writing, under oath, and signed. The written allegation shall be known as a complaint. (C) When an employee is to be questioned or interviewed concerning a complaint or allegation, the employee will be informed prior to the interview of the nature of the investigation and whether he is the subject of the investigation or a witness in an investigation. Employees shall be informed of the right to have a union representative in attendance at the interview and where requested, an employee shall be given 48 hours to contact, consult with, and secure the attendance of a representative at the interview. If he is the subject of the investigation, the employee and his representative will also be informed of each complaint or allegation against him and they shall be permitted to review all written statements and recordings made by the complainant and witnesses at least two hours prior to the commencement of the interview in accordance with section 112, F.S. In the event the written statement or recordings are such that additional review time is warranted, the employee may request, and be granted, additional time unless the request is made for the purposes of delay. Pursuant to section 112.533, F.S., the employee who is the subject of the investigation shall not disclose the contents to anyone other than his representative or attorney until the investigation is complete. (D) Interviews and questioning of employees shall be conducted in a professional manner. Statements from an employee shall not be taken in a coercive manner. (E) The formal interrogation of an employee shall comply with the provisions of section 112.532, F.S. The employee shall receive a copy of his written or recorded statement at no cost to the employee. No recording or transcription of the investigative interview will be made without the knowledge of all participants present at the interview. (F) In cases where the agency determines that the employee’s absence from the work location is essential to the investigation and the employee cannot be reassigned to other duties pending completion of the investigation, the employee shall be placed on administrative leave with pay. Such leave shall be in accordance with Chapter 60L-34, F.A.C. (G) Unless required by statute, no employee shall be required to submit to a polygraph test or any device designed to measure the truthfulness of his responses during an investigation of a complaint or allegation. (H) Only sustained findings may be inserted in personnel records. Unfounded findings shall not be inserted in permanent personnel records or referred to in performance reviews. (I) Internal investigations will ordinarily be completed within 45 days from the date the complaint is filed, unless circumstances necessitate a longer period.
