This bill, the Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act of 2023, aims to reauthorize and expand federal support for states' efforts to improve maternal health outcomes and eliminate disparities in pregnancy-related and pregnancy-associated deaths. Key provisions include: 1) Requiring maternal mortality review committees to include obstetricians and gynecologists, and coordinating with death certifiers to improve death record data quality; 2) Directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to disseminate best practices on preventing maternal mortality and morbidity to hospitals, professional groups, and quality collaboratives at least annually; and 3) Increasing authorized funding for these maternal health programs from $58 million to $108 million per year from 2024 to 2028.
