Death of a baby is a devastating event for both the families and the professionals looking after them. In order to try to answer the questions raised by such deaths, a structured approach is required. Prior to attending an IMPROVE workshop, many health care professionals report feeling ill equipped to handling these issues and the workshop aims to provide tools to help the family and the healthcare facility at this time.
IMPROVE covers appropriate practices around principles of bereavement care, communicating with parents about autopsy, clinical examination, placental and post-mortem examination, investigation, classification, and audit of stillbirth. If you would like to host an education session at your hospital please contact us at [email protected] or call 952-715-7731

Autopsies and other forms of testing in perinatal losses can be scary and confusing. These investigations can help provide answers to grieving families, information useful in any future pregnancies, and knowledge to the medical community about these deaths.Â
However, families may not have testing done due to cultural considerations, financial restrictions, availability of testing, misconceptions or lack of information, or personal reasons. Our brochure, Understanding Autopsy and Testing in Perinatal Loss, is designed to help families and health professionals understand the options and discuss the best course for the individual situation. It is available at link, or you may contact us for a free copy. If you are a health professional or medical facility and would like to have a supply available for your patients, please contact us at [email protected].
