Data to Save Moms Act

The Data to Save Moms Act aims to reduce maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity by improving data collection and review processes, with a specific focus on racial and ethnic disparities. It authorizes $10 million annually for grants to maternal mortality review committees to increase community engagement and diversity, particularly from racial and ethnic minority groups. The bill also mandates a comprehensive review of current maternal health data collection systems and requires a study on maternal health outcomes among American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Additionally, it provides $10 million annually for grants to minority-serving institutions to study maternal health disparities and develop culturally appropriate care approaches. These provisions aim to create more comprehensive data on maternal health outcomes and identify solutions to reduce preventable deaths.
