AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Maternal Health: Rhode Island is among 10 states with no birth centers, despite research linking these midwife-led facilities to better outcomes for people with low-risk pregnancies. Mental Health Access: A study that included Rhode Island found fewer than one in four calls to listed mental health providers led to an appointment, with inaccurate insurance directories a major obstacle. Nursing Home Care: Federal Medicaid payment limits could put funding for Rhode Island nursing home services at risk, though the local impact remains unclear. Hospital Workforce: Rhode Island Hospital resident physicians have ratified their first union contract. State Health Leadership: Rhode Island’s Health and Human Services chief is set to replace the CEOs of Roger Williams and Fatima hospitals. Opioid Oversight: State auditors found widespread compliance failures in opioid treatment oversight.
