The primary goal of all child death review teams is to prevent future child deaths. The child death review process enables jurisdictions to come together in a collaborative, multidisciplinary forum to openly discuss detailed circumstances of specific cases in an effort to gain a better understanding of child deaths. The team provides a venue for representatives from a variety of both public and private agencies as well as community organizations to share information in a confidential and non-threatening environment. The National Center for Child Death Review (National Center), which is supported by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has developed “A Program Manual for Child Death Review” (Program Manual) to assist states in developing and conducting child death reviews. Many of the recommendations provided in the Program Manual have been adopted by the regional child death review teams in Nevada.
