Commission on Perinatal Care & Prevention of Infant Mortality: 2020 Report

This report provides information on initiatives authorized by the Commission that focus on reducing maternal and infant deaths, including the Louisiana Perinatal Quality Collaborative (LaPQC) and the Pregnancy Associated Mortality Review (PAMR). Legislative and policy priorities considered by the Commission are also identified in the report. One highlight is that legislation was passed in 2019 that authorizes the Louisiana Department of Health to promulgate and publish rules and regulations for the licensing of free-standing birth centers.
