This bill aims to improve maternal health outcomes during public health emergencies by authorizing substantial appropriations for data collection, surveillance, and research. It allocates funding to key Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) programs, including $100 million for the Surveillance for Emerging Threats to Mothers and Babies (SET-MB) program to provide guidance and establish regional centers of excellence. An additional $30 million is designated for the ERASE MM program to expand partnerships with States and Tribal entities for Maternal Mortality Review Committees, while $45 million supports the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) to enhance surveys with emergency-related questions and respectful maternity care experiences. Furthermore, $15 million is authorized for the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to research interventions, particularly for demographic groups with elevated adverse maternal outcomes. A central provision requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the CDC and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to make publicly available disaggregated data on maternal health during public health emergencies. This data will include diagnostic testing, confirmed cases, hospitalizations, deaths, and maternal and infant health outcomes related to infectious diseases, disaggregated by factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status. The bill mandates monthly updates during emergencies and within one month after their conclusion, with strict privacy protections ensuring data is deidentified. It also requires the Secretary to issue guidance to State and local public health departments on collecting and disaggregating demographic data from laboratories. To ensure informed care, the bill directs the CDC Director to conduct public health education campaigns during emergencies, providing accurate, evidence-based information to pregnant and postpartum individuals, their employers, and healthcare providers, with a focus on underserved communities. Crucially, it establishes a Task Force on Birthing Experience and Safe, Respectful, Responsive, and Empowering Maternity Care to develop comprehensive federal recommendations. These recommendations will address a wide range of issues, including respectful care, telehealth access, specialized care for high-risk pregnancies, support for midwives and perinatal health workers, mental health, and strategies to combat racism and bias in maternity care. The Task Force will comprise diverse stakeholders, including federal officials, public health experts, community representatives, maternity care providers, and patients, ensuring a holistic approach to improving maternal health during crises.
