2014 West Virginia Code
CHAPTER 16. PUBLIC HEALTH
ARTICLE 4E. UNIFORM MATERNAL SCREENING ACT.
§16-4E-1. Legislative findings.
The Legislature finds that there is a need for a more comprehensive and uniform approach to any screening conducted by physicians and midwives to discover at-risk and high-risk pregnancies. A uniform approach would simplify the process, standardize the procedure and better identify those pregnancies that need more in-depth care and monitoring. Additionally, a uniform application would provide better and more measurable data regarding at-risk and high-risk pregnancies. This would allow public health officials to gain a better understanding of those conditions that are most frequently observed and to develop methodology to address those concerns.
