Accomplishments
In September of 2017 the Department of Health published its first report using data from the database:
Infant Death Review South Dakota 2013-2015 authored by the State Epidemiologist, Dr. Lon Kightlinger.
An infographic, South Dakota Infant Death Review, was produced to facilitate data dissemination found in
the Infant Death Review South Dakota 2013-2017 report.
Information from the 2017 report was shared with both death review teams to promote better data
collection and to increase focus on prevention efforts.
In May of 2018, Susanna Joy, Program Associate from the National Center for Fatality Review and
Prevention provided training to the Statewide Infant Death Review Committee at their annual meeting.
The Infant Death Review (IDR) infographic was updated in May to include 2016 data and an ad was
created for the journal SD Medicine to share key data points with providers in the state.
