Quality of Care and Disparities in Obstetrics


Growing attention is being paid to obstetrical quality of care as patients are pressing the healthcare system to measure and improve quality. There is also an increasing recognition of persistent racial and ethnic disparities prevalent in obstetrical outcomes. Yet few studies have linked obstetrical quality of care with racial and ethnic disparities.
