SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ACIMM is authorized by section 222 of the Public Health Service Act
(42 U.S.C. 217a), as amended. The Committee is governed by provisions
of Public Law 92-463, as amended by Public Law 117-286 (5 U.S.C. 10),
which sets forth standards for the formation and use of Advisory
Committees.
ACIMM advises the Secretary of Health and Human Services
(Secretary) on department activities, partnerships, policies, and
programs directed at reducing infant mortality, maternal mortality and
severe maternal morbidity, and improving the health status of infants
and women before, during, and after pregnancy. The Committee provides
advice on how to coordinate federal, state, local, tribal, and
territorial governmental efforts designed to improve infant mortality,
related adverse birth outcomes, maternal health, as well as influence
similar efforts in the private and voluntary sectors. The Committee
provides guidance and recommendations on the policies, programs, and
resources required to address the disparities and inequities in infant
mortality, related adverse birth outcomes and maternal health outcomes,
including maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. With its
focus on underlying causes of the disparities and inequities seen in
birth outcomes for women and infants, the Committee advises the
Secretary on the health, social, economic, and environmental factors
contributing to the inequities and proposes structural, policy, and/or
systems level changes.
The agenda for the March 20-21, 2023, meeting is being finalized
and may include the following topics: an update on the recommendations
submitted to the Secretary on improving birth outcomes among American
