Job description

The Broward Healthy Start Coalition seeks a Registered Nurse as an Independent Contractor to perform medical record abstractions for the Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Program

Background:

Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) is a community-based, action-oriented process to review fetal and infant deaths and make recommendations to spark systemic changes to prevent future similar deaths. The Broward FIMR team operates at the local level to examine medical, non-medical, and systems-related factors and circumstances contributing to fetal and infant deaths.

The FIMR approach is unique because cases are de-identified; they may include a family interview to determine the family’s perspective on factors that may have contributed to the infant’s life and death; and many of the teams have a Community Action Team (CAG) that, after completion of the review, works to take the case review team’s recommendations to action.

The purpose of FIMR’s Case Review team is to conduct comprehensive multidisciplinary review of fetal and infant deaths to understand how a wide array of local social, economic, public health, educational, environmental and safety issues relate to the tragedy of infant loss; and use the findings to take action that can prevent other infant deaths and improve the systems of care and resources for women, infants, and families.

Scope of Work:

The FIMR Nurse Abstractor will conduct the following services for the Fetal Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) Program of Broward County in accordance with the National FIMR (NFIMR) protocol established by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists NFIMR Program:

a. Abstract up to (16) fetal and infant death certificates and corresponding birth certificates from the Florida Department of Health in Broward County on an annual basis.

d. Attend monthly FIMR CRT meetings either in person or by phone or alternate platform as requested by the Broward Healthy Start Coalition (Coalition). Consultant will be present during FIMR CRT meetings for case questions and discussion when cases abstracted by the Consultant are being reviewed.
