Abstract:
Adverse outcomes associated with pregnancy, including severe acute maternal morbidity (SAMM) and mortality, are internationally regarded as important indicators of quality of maternity services. Varied definitions and processes are barriers for SAMM recording, reporting and review. Identifying and documenting these cases of SAMM is a critical first step. Case reviews allow exploration of factors contributing to SAMM. Translation of the lessons learnt into practice improvement strategies and dissemination of this knowledge is essential for continual quality improvement. This review will outline the current status of SAMM review internationally and in Australia.
