Maternal and Perinatal Death Review Guidelines (48). In South Africa, a PPIP coordinator appointed by the national Medical Research Council oversees all provincial training with a colleague and provides ongoing follow-up such as ensuring that the facilities send their data to the central database (41). Yearly provincial workshops are held to show the staff at health-care facilities how to install the audit software program, enter data and fill in the data collection tools, perform data validity checks and do basic analyses of common indicators. Experience has shown that it is important to explain at the outset to those involved at each level of the review process why specific pieces of information need to be collected and for what purposes, so that data are collected for a reason and not for their own sake. Training should also include an overview of a death review meeting, and guidance on appropriate conduct, including confidentiality. If time allows, the training may also include continuing medical education on management of common maternal and perinatal conditions. Frequent staff rotation of nurse-midwives in maternity and newborn units can have an impact on service delivery, and can be detrimental to the success of the mortality audit process. A key enabling factor is to create, recognize and reward core leadership skills among experienced midwives, nurses, clinical officers, anaesthetists and medical staff who represent the institutional memory and continuity as well as relevant clinical knowledge and skills. These individuals would be the key leaders on the mortality audit steering committee, responsible for orienting new staff, providing guidance in clinical areas for less experienced staff and able to feed in most effectively to audit discussions because of their experience and credibility within the institution. It is important to remember that leaders may or may not be managers, and they are most likely to be role models for effective teamwork for the rest of the staff. The success of an audit process depends on these individuals to build teams and implement solutions rather than assign blame. 58 MAKING EVERY BABY COUNT: AUDIT AND REVIEW OF STILLBIRTHS AND NEONATAL DEATHS
