Discussed the reintroduction of Rep. Engel's legislation, the Partnering to Improve Maternity Care Quality Act of 2010 (H.R. 6437) from the previous Congress. At the end of 2011, Rep. Engel, along with Senator Debbie Stabenow, introduced a new version of this bill entitled the Quality Care for Moms & Babies Act (H.R. 1969/S. 3620). This legislation would: 1) establish a maternity care quality measurement program; 2) develop Maternity Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) provider, facility, and health plan surveys; 3) provide grants to support state and regional quality collaboratives; and, 4) establish a Woman- and Family-Centered Maternity Care Home demonstration program, among its provisions. Also discussed Rep. Roybal-Allard's Maximizing Optimal Maternity Services for the 21st Century Act or the "MOMS for the 21st Century Act" (H.R. 2141) which would promote evidence-based maternity care as a national priority.
