Maternal Mortality Review Committee (MMRC)
The state of Tennessee established the Maternal Mortality Review and Prevention Committee in January 2017.

The committee is a closed membership with Commissioner approval.
The committee is composed of a multidisciplinary expert panel with representation from:
- Public Health, Pediatrics, Domestic Violence, Obstetrics-gynecology, Nursing, Hospital Patient Safety, Anesthesiology, Nurse-Midwifery, Tennessee Senate, Neonatology, Medical Examiner, House of Representatives, Maternal and Fetal Medicine, Mental Health
