Relating to the composition of the Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee.
This bill changes the membership requirements for Texas' Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee, increasing its size from 23 to 25 members. It adds two doulas (one urban, one rural, with end-of-life experience), a managed care organization representative, and specifies detailed medical specialties including obstetrics, psychiatry, and critical care. The committee, which reviews maternal deaths and health outcomes, will now include these specific roles to ensure diverse expertise in its work. The state health commissioner must appoint members according to these new requirements.
