Introduced Text

New Jersey S2502 mandates the Department of Health to create maternity care evaluation protocols for hospitals and birthing centers.

New Jersey S2502 requires the Department of Health to establish maternity care evaluation protocols for hospitals and birthing centers. These protocols would ensure the collection and dissemination of data on maternity care, including de-identified information on maternal patients and infants. The data would be used to identify potential improvements in maternity care services, generate quality metrics, and establish benchmarks for maternal health outcomes. The Commissioner of Health would report annually on these evaluations and any recommendations for legislative action.
