Fetal and Infant Mortality Review

What is FIMR

The Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) program review deaths of children less than 1-years old living in Shelby County, TN. We analyze information from a variety of resources including medical records, perinatal history, autopsy reports, birth and death certificates. The purpose of the Shelby County FIMR program is to reduce infant mortality by identifying which social, economic, environmental, education factors contribute to infant and fetal loss.
