Pre-Meeting Data Collection and Sharing
The information surrounding the sudden and unexpected death of a child is collected by multiple agencies and multiple people; parents, caregivers, friends, neighbors, investigators, healthcare providers, social workers, educators, and more.
Productive Child Death Review (CDR) meetings depend on the sharing of accurate PRIMARY SOURCE information. Sharing information before the CDR meeting helps prepare attendees to be productive participants, and gives organizers the ability to summarize findings and recommendations for future surveillance, prevention and follow-up activities.
The CDR system is designed to give individuals with direct knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the death of a child to REVIEW case information provided by other participating agencies, and PROVIDE additional information gathered by your agency.
The gathering and sharing of case information BEFORE the CDR is essential to running productive meetings.
