Definitions of non-clinical aspects of care are important for developing effective measurement approaches that yield insights into success and failure. The evidence report highlights the importance of respectful maternity care (RMC) as a contributor to high-quality, safe care in general, and also for marginalized patient populations. The report reviews existing tools to measure RMC and found gaps in the evidence base on developing and activating strategies that support safe obstetric care and therefore, how they might affect patient outcomes.
