This bill aims to improve data collection and review related to maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. Key provisions include: 1) Providing grants to maternal mortality review committees to promote representative community engagement, including prioritizing diverse membership and conducting outreach and engagement efforts. 2) Expanding data collection and review, such as reviewing cases of severe maternal morbidity and consulting with community organizations to consider non-clinical factors. 3) Establishing a task force to evaluate current state and tribal practices for maternal health data collection and dissemination, assess the adequacy of funding, and recommend improvements to maternal health data and quality measures. 4) Requiring the Indian Health Service to conduct a study on maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity among American Indian and Alaska Native populations, and making grants available to minority-serving institutions to study aspects of the maternal health crisis among minority women. The overall goal is to improve data collection, representation, and quality measures related to maternal health outcomes, with a particular focus on addressing racial and ethnic disparities.
