National Child Death Review Case Reporting System

The National Child Death Review Case Reporting System (NCDR-CRS) is a secure database used by professionals to record and analyze information about child deaths across the country. Its goal is to identify patterns, causes, and risk factors to prevent future tragedies. Data collected includes details about the child's health, environment, and circumstances surrounding their death. By sharing this information confidentially among child death review teams, the system helps improve understanding and develop strategies to reduce preventable child deaths, ultimately promoting safer environments for children.
