A 4272 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to including statistics on childbirth complications, fetal loss, and other injuries in information for maternity patients

This bill requires hospitals and birth centers to include specific statistics in patient information materials about maternity care. It mandates the provision of annual data on maternal complications (like hemorrhages and injuries during birth), fetal losses, stillbirths, cesarean section rates, and outcomes broken down by patient age and race. The information must cover topics such as deaths from childbirth complications, success rates for vaginal births after C-sections, and availability of services like bereavement support. This directly affects maternity patients by providing transparent, data-driven insights into care quality at their facility. The law aims to improve patient awareness of facility-specific outcomes without advocating for specific policies.
