Reporting hospital records may be lost if investigators do not go beyond state report forms that do not include medical information. Multiagency Child Fatality Review may miss multiagency records. Friends, family and neighbors may not be interviewed. Records may be lost across jurisdictions. Some of this may never be connected but hospitals can add medical finding and help to find other.
