Child
Death Review
> Program Overview
Child
Death Review (CDR) for Yakima
County is a coordinated, multidisciplinary,
community based, public health
process. The Yakima Health
District coordinates the local
CDR. The team, after the review
of unexpected deaths, makes
recommendations to the community
about preventative measures.
The ultimate purpose of Child
Death Review is to reduce
preventable deaths of children
by:
- Identifying
problems leading to such
deaths;
- Collecting
and reporting standardized
information
- Improving
interagency communication
through case and issues
review;
- Developing
appropriate prevention strategies.
