Health: other; program to register perinatal facilities as certain maternal care facilities; establish. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding sec. 9129.

This bill creates a new program to register hospitals that provide maternal care as Level I, II, III, or IV facilities based on their existing certifications from organizations like the Joint Commission. Under this system, hospitals must report their certification status to the state department every three years, and the department will maintain a public online list of all registered facilities and their care levels. The law also requires the department to consult with medical groups when setting up reporting procedures and allows the department to offer technical assistance and potential incentive payments to hospitals that join the program.
