Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act aims to improve obstetric emergency care in rural areas.
The Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act seeks to enhance obstetric emergency care in rural areas by establishing statewide or regional networks of maternal health care teams. These networks will provide urgent consultative support to rural non-obstetric settings of care. The bill also includes provisions for obstetric emergency training programs, grants for equipment and supplies, and a pilot program for teleconsultation. Additionally, it mandates a study on maternity ward closures and regional patterns of patient transport, and authorizes appropriations for these initiatives.
