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 enhance care. Key components 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 follow-up with 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 adherence to evidence-based practices to improve maternal health outcomes. The activities of the Maternal Outcomes Management System are contingent upon the availability of funding, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to support hospitals with fewer resources.
