House Bill 1164 amends the Health and Safety Code to require the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission, in consultation with the Department of State Health Services, the Perinatal Advisory Council, and certain interested persons, to develop by rule patient safety practices for the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and management of placenta accreta spectrum disorder. The bill requires a hospital with a maternal level of care designation to implement the minimum required practices. A hospital with a level IV maternal designation, in addition to implementing those practices, must have available a multidisciplinary team of health professionals who participate in continuing staff and team-based education and training to care for patients with the disorder.
