🚨 Upcoming Webinar: What You Need to Know About New Hospital & Maternity Care Regulations

📅 Monday, Jan. 12, 2026
⏰ 10 a.m.–Noon
🔗 Register today! https://bit.ly/48GZShj

CMS has introduced major updates to hospital regulations — including a new obstetrical services condition of participation — with changes affecting organizational structure, service delivery, staffing and training.

These updates are designed to:
⭐ Improve health equity for maternal health patients
⭐ Increase access to care
⭐ Reduce maternal mortality

Some emergency readiness and transfer requirements apply to all hospitals, even those without obstetrical services. Others, such as new quality assurance and performance improvement expectations, apply specifically to hospitals providing maternity care.

Regulations began phasing in July 1 and will be fully effective Jan. 1, 2027.
