Overview
This bill directs the New Jersey Department of Health to create specific standards for maternity care provided by general hospitals. These standards aim to improve patient safety during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, with a focus on reducing negative outcomes and disparities in care. The department will consult with organizations like the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health to ensure the standards reflect best practices and national data. Hospitals licensed to provide maternity care will be required to comply with these new standards as a condition of their license.
