AI Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Health to establish a three-year Obstetric Discrimination Prevention and Mitigation Pilot Program. The program will involve select maternity care hospitals and birthing centers using a perinatal quality improvement measurement tool to recognize and report obstetric discrimination as an adverse event, evaluate the presence and impact of obstetric discrimination on Black mothers' birthing experiences, and improve maternal health care and reduce adverse outcomes associated with obstetric discrimination. The program will be funded through a value-based payment system in the State Medicaid program, and the Department of Health must submit a report on the program's impact and recommendations for further action.
