Death certificates commonly contain errors, which hinders understanding of infant mortality. We therefore undertook a quality improvement (QI) initiative to improve death reporting in our NICU. After our baseline assessment (January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017), we implemented our QI initiatives using Plan, Do, Study, Act tests of change. We prospectively reviewed death certificates (July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019) to evaluate the impact of our interventions. The overall proportion of incorrect death certificates significantly decreased from 71% to 22% with special cause variation noted after the second PDSA cycle. The most common errors involved inaccurate or incomplete reporting of prematurity and errors in the sequence of events. Through a series of PDSA cycles focused on formal provider education and ongoing review, we significantly reduced inaccurate death reporting. These interventions are generalizable across NICUs and important to improve public health reporting accuracy.
