Patients, parents and caregivers play an important role in improving patient safety. Although parents have expressed interest in engaging in perinatal mortality review processes, this international survey of healthcare providers found that less than one-third of respondents (from various types of healthcare facilities) included parents in the review process at their institutions. The authors discuss the potential importance of parental involvement after perinatal mortality to improve care.
