AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Human Services to establish a three-year Obstetric Discrimination Prevention and Mitigation Pilot Program. The program will utilize a perinatal quality improvement measurement tool to recognize and report obstetric discrimination as an adverse event, evaluate the presence and magnitude of obstetric discrimination, and improve maternal health care and reduce adverse pregnancy-related outcomes associated with obstetric discrimination for Black mothers. The program is funded through NJ FamilyCare using a value-based payment system, and the Department of Human Services must submit a report on the program's impact and recommendations after four years.
