The proposed bill aims to establish the Maternal Outcomes Management System within the Arkansas Department of Health, focusing on improving maternal health outcomes through a comprehensive statewide system. This system will organize maternal health resources, educate both providers and patients, incentivize best practices, and collect critical data to drive improvements. Key components of the system include the creation of a centralized website for maternal health resources, a grant program for birthing and delivery hospitals, and the establishment of two call centers: "MOMS Care Connect" for coordinating hospital transfers and "Postpartum Support Hotline" for post-delivery outreach to mothers.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific responsibilities for the Department of Health, including maintaining a database of maternal health resources, providing education on maternal health issues, and developing a designation system for hospitals based on their capabilities to deliver clinical care for pregnant women. The legislation emphasizes the importance of community outreach, clinician education, and peer review processes to enhance the quality of maternal care. The implementation of these initiatives is contingent upon the availability of funding, and the Department of Health is authorized to promulgate rules to facilitate the execution of the bill's provisions.
