Bill > HB06589

This bill requires the Commissioner of Public Health to develop a report card for hospitals and birthing centers to evaluate maternity care. The primary goals are to reduce maternal mortality rates, increase transparency in healthcare delivery, and ensure high-quality maternity care across the state. By creating a standardized report card system, the bill aims to provide patients and healthcare administrators with clear, comparable information about the quality of maternity services at different healthcare facilities. This approach will allow expectant mothers and their families to make more informed decisions about where to receive prenatal and childbirth care, while also creating a mechanism for healthcare institutions to be held accountable for the standard of care they provide. The report card will likely include metrics related to maternal health outcomes, safety protocols, patient experiences, and other key indicators of maternity care quality.
